Rating: 5
Summary: Insightful and practical. Highly recommended.
Comment: Full of insight, understanding, and practical advise. This is a book from someone who's been there, done that, and found others to share the journey with. Together the people in this book share their experiences, challenges, and solutions. I highly recommend this book for anyone struggling with a chronic illness.

Rating: 5
Summary: Very strong on getting help, relationships and communication
Comment: This book is not so much about self-care -- exercise, diet, medications, relaxation and such -- but it is very strong on getting the support you need to live successfully with a chronic condition. I used her material extensively in writing The Art of Getting Well: Maximizing Health When You Have a Chronic Illness.

Most of us don't like to ask for help. It makes us feel weak, guilty, needy or even "un-American." But mutual assistance is the way the world works. Register gives powerful reasons to ask for and accept help, likely places to find it, and ways of paying people back. She points out that most people like to help, and that we can help others in our turn.

Her book is also very strong on dealing with the medical profession and financial issues, how to keep your illness from impoversihing you. She continues to thrive with her condition, teaches at a university and has written several more books. She is an inspiring and practical teacher.

Rating: 5
Summary: On Target And Real
Comment: As someone who deals with a couple of chronic illnesses I found this book refreshing practial and inspiring. It is packed with real life experiencies and what can be learned from them.
This book made me laugh, taught me things and relieved me that someone else felt like I feel. I highly recomend this book for not only chronically ill individuals but family, friends, interested parties and medical professionals.
