Zen Cancer Wisdom: Tips for Making Each Day Better 

by Daju Suzanne Friedman 

Wisdom Publications, Somerville, Massachusetts, 2014          293 pages

I wrote this book to wake you up, shake you up, and hopefully, at times, even to crack you up as you walk the path of cancer. It was written as much for me as it was for you. . .


Why include spiritual Zen with practical complementary cancer approaches? Because Buddhism is unique in its head-approach to suffering, and Zen is all about the practical art of living, rather than some abstract philosophy to ponder and master. What is Zen? Zen is the act of giving yourself over to this moment, to be fully present in your life. This book is about the Zen of Healing.

Each entry presents a special thought, action, or opportunity to make this and each day better. There is no correct order, so you can open to any page for some food for thought, sage advice, or a quick and dirty healing tip. (pp. 1-2)
