When Dr. Mary Gunn was diagnosed with cancer, her first reaction was fear, and to fight the disease aggressively, for the sake of not only herself but also her young children and husband. But when it came back--and turned out to be incurable--she knew that she couldn't live the rest of her life in fear. Mary embraced a new approach to life: to accept all the joy and sorrow, safety and danger, certainty and unpredictability . . . in essence, to live freely. In our uncertain times, when it's difficult not to feel the fear, Dr. Mary Gunn's striking memoir offers mindfulness tools for resilience, and shows how we can all use acceptance, compassion, and love to live fully and courageously. Backed up by many years of experience as both a doctor and a patient, her story will inspire you to let go of fear, love life, and live well.
