Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-11 00:00:00 Tiffany Jennings One reviewer mentioned that the authors writes in a chatty tone--that's an accurate description. I found this book insightful and useful for helping me get on track to recovering and caring for myself, as well as preventing future relapses. The author recommends useful tips for recovering from an illness: put your life before your illness, listen to your body, conserve your energy for healing, change the things that harm you, and get the help you need. His recommendations come from what's worked for patients, friends, family members, and a lit review of what other authors have written. Thanks to the tips in The Art of Getting Well, I feel better equipped to recognize when I feel stressed, to calm myself down in a soothing way, to recognize the signs and ask for help when I need it, and visualize healing and becoming the healthy person I want to be, to honoring myself by putting myself first without negatively impacting others. This is a book I will keep on my shelves to reflect upon for years to come.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-02 00:00:00 Donald Mertens The author writes in friendly, inclusive, and easy to understand language. Whatever illness or chronic pain you are approaching the material with, he is mindful as to which parts will be more/less useful to you. There were whole sections I highlighted and read to my partner, who has not approached the subject before. I learned things too, and I appreciated not be bombarded by endless self help action items. Let me say there is a lot to think about here, and one chapter of applicable action items at the end of the book. If you're serious about wanting better coping strategies, try reading this book.
