Re: Overall reviews
From the looks of things I may be the only one who has read this book. I found it interesting and a quick read. It is interesting to view cancer from a patient who is also a doctor. It probably makes them see patient treatment in a different light.
His journey is a sad one but one we are all on. His family was very supportive from what I read. The spiritual part got to me a little bit, as I have trouble with people who see themselves as themselves but in a different time. As an alternative, I also have a problem with people who see other people and see them in a different time.
It is a shame that we have lost a respected cardiologist but that is what happens in life. I would recommend this book to others.

Re: Overall reviews
I also read this book and it resonated with me. I have been using meditation all through my cancer journey, and prior to it, with great success. It has helped me get through some of the darker hours of my journey and come out the other side much calmer and more hopeful. I have also introduced meditation to many of my clients as a PT to help them live through severe bouts of acute pain and illness with their cancer treatments.
I didn't resonate with some of the more other worldly things that he talked about, but that isn't really the message of this book. I feel that the message is that although cancer sucks it doesn't have to be the defining moment of our lives. It does need to be lived with and respected, but there is much more to the constellation of what makes up our lives than our cancer diagnosis.
