Inspirational Lessons for a Joyful, Loving Life

From the New York Times bestselling author of Love, Medicine and Miracles

A pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine, Dr. Bernie Siegel has led the way in demonstrating how peace of mind, a sense of meaning in one's life and the willingness to give and receive unconditional love can influence one's ability to survive even the most serious of illnesses. As a surgeon, he learned about survival behavior from his patients, and realized they were teaching him the wisdom of the sages. Now Bernie, as he prefers to be called, updates this wisdom for all of us. He embraces a wider audience of those facing ordinary challenges, and offers a compass for navigating a course of happiness and fulfillment.

Prescriptions For Living is filled with parables, reflections, and personal anecdotes that illuminate the beauty, magic, and truth in our everyday lives. By helping us change our attitudes toward our daily lives, Bernie reveals the hope and joy that is everywhere, if we know where to look and how to see it. Among the life lessons Bernie shares are how to forgive and love ourselves and others, and how to learn from the wisdom of children. With compassion, warmth, humor and insight, Bernie helps us to find our true selves and manifest our potential, as well as understand life's requirements and how to fulfill them. As Bernie says, “Batteries are not included.” He can only guide, direct, and coach you, but he knows from his patients that the talent and capabilities are within each of us. By filling his prescriptions and experiencing the wisdom of the lessons, your life can be changed.
