A blessing in disguise; 39 life lessons from today's greatest teachers.
Cohen, a cancer researcher and poet, collects essays and personal stories on overcoming challenges, soul expression, death and dying, life's everyday lessons, spirituality, and relationships. "Today's greatest teachers" range from Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh, to Martha Beck, an "innovator in life design" and monthly columnist at O, The Oprah Magazine. In between are experts in integrative and preventive medicine, clinical psychologists and social workers, and a visionary who writes poetry about organizational change. Cohen is founder of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine Research Program in Cancer at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
