Return to Wholeness: Embracing Body, Mind, and Spirit in the Face of CancerHardcover, 1 January 1999

Quite simply, Return to Wholeness is a revelation. For the millions coping with the problems and disruptions that cancer brings, David Simon breaks new ground by bringing forth the holistic mind-body approaches developed at the Chopra Center for Well Being. Over the course of a lifetime, almost 50 percent of North American men and almost 40 percent of North American women will get cancer. The guiding theme in this book is wholeness, as Simon demonstrates to readers the value of integrating the best Western medicine-both traditional and alternative-with Eastern, Ayurvedic principles and practices in order to forge the most effective paths to wellness. Guiding families, caregivers, and those suffering from cancer into a new environment where the physical and the spiritual are balanced and whole, this book provides unprecedented guidance, support, and hope.
