What Readers Have to Say

"Thank you for such an AWESOME book and workshop (but especially the book since it goes more in-depth than what you could get into given the time constraints of the workshop.) This is EXACTLY what I needed at this time. EXACTLY!" Elizabeth Knox, photographer, Montreal.

"As author Kathy Santini, herself a cancer survivor points out, life views are fundamentally and forever changed by a cancer diagnosis. As part of living her own "best life," Kathy has designed this compact book (130 pages, including exercises and homework) as a written replacement or complement for the in-person coaching and workshops she frequently facilitates on Vancouver Island and throughout Canada.

Santini summarizes material that will be familiar territory for many survivors, including reflections on "what now?" - making meaning from your cancer experience post treatment, clarifying values and how they fit with daily living, facing your fears, self-care, boundary setting, finding and building supports, developing SMART goals - and finding ways of living consciously.

The materials here are adapted from diverse sources in psychology and will provide a useful starting point for reading and reflection.

My favourite parts of the book were Kathy's stories about her own life experiences. I wanted more depth and detail in these stories and fewer written exercises, but that may not be true for readers who are cancer survivors looking for strategies in living post-treatment. Kathy's overall tone is upbeat but not "Pollyannaish," and I particularly appreciated a portion of the book entitled, "You Didn't Cause Your Cancer." since this issue - and the tyranny of positive thinking it can create - is something most survivors can defintely do without.
