Synopsis
"Finding Joy is a vital guide on how to best manage and navigate life with a chronic illness." —James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art Live your best life — even when your physical health crumbles. Finding Joy presents a comprehensive, practical guide for living your best life with chronic illness. This psychology self-help book integrates personal and professional insights to give you tools for handling various aspects of living with a chronic illness. There is also a chapter specifically for the loved ones and caregivers of the chronically ill. While this book is designed for anyone with a chronic illness, the spiritual content early in the book suggests the value of sticking to your faith and offers several Bible references. Ultimately, Finding Joy is an A-to-Z guide that critiques the literature and empowers the reader with: 1. Positive psychology techniques. These range from self-compassion, positive reappraisal, positive self-talk, and pacing to positive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors such as optimism, humor, and volunteer work. 2. Stress-reduction methods. These include tools such as mindfulness, breathing exercises, simplification, and (therapeutic) journaling. 3. Proven therapies. Examples include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). 4. Effective communication strategies and their impact on relationships and even the ability to access quality healthcare. 5. Numerous tips to both access and optimize your your experience with high quality healthcare. 6. Important considerations for loved ones of the chronically ill, so they too can know how to best support their loved one and take care of themselves in the process. Lastly, consider using the workbook by Oak Tree Reading on Amazon to enhance your reading experience. This could be useful for solo readers or support groups. “This book offers great value for anyone with chronic illness as it contains clear, practical, and actionable insights and steps that can be naturally implemented into daily life. An engaging, easy, and helpful read. Highly recommended.” —Alla Bogdanova, MSc, MIM, co-founder and past president of the International Empty Nose Syndrome Association
My Review
This is an excellent book and I found it so interesting to read. I learn so much from reading this book. It really helped deal better with my own chronic illness fibromyalgia. It made me more aware of the the fact even after a number of years you still might have not full accept your condition. It has many useful information on this subject. It also helps you understand that others just won't understand and how to deal with them. What I loved the most about this book is the author has his own chronic illness so all methods are tried and tested.
I really like the way this book was wrote as it didn't feel like any other self help book I have ever read it felt more relaxed. You knew that the author understood you and his manner made me take more in. This book is tailored for those who are in countries that have to pay or have insurance. However I found it so useful and I'm from the UK. So great for everyone.
Many thanks to the author and publishers for producing this fantastic and very useful resource.
