Prescriptions For Living: Inspirational Lessons for a Joyful, Loving Life - Softcover

As a physician who has cared for and counseled innumerable patients, Bernie Siegel embraces a philosophy that is at the forefront of a society grappling with medical ethics and spiritual issues. His books Love, Medicine and Miracles (1986), Peace, Love and Healing (1989), and How to Live Between Office Visits (1993) have broken new ground in the field of healing. Over a span of twenty years, other physicians have become increasingly receptive to his message. Bernie's efforts have now turned toward humanizing medical care and medical education, and he continues to travel extensively with his wife, Bobbie, to speak at and run workshops, sharing his techniques and experiences. Bernie and Bobbie have five children and six grandchildren (so far).

Bernie Siegel attended Cornell University Medical College and then trained as a paediatric and general surgeon at Yale New Haven Hospital and the children's hospital of Pittsburgh. In 1978 he founded ECaP (Exceptional Cancer Patients), a form of individual and group therapy which encourages personal change and healing. Now retired as a surgeon, he lives in Connecticut.
