The Zen of Cancer: A Mindful Journey from Illness to Wellness

The Zen of Cancer is a collection of essays written during my treatment for a rare form of thymic cancer. It chronicles the effort to maintain mindful awareness — experiencing the present moment without judgment — during the many twists and turns on the road toward recovery. This mindfulness approach can help anyone experiencing illness or suffering see themselves in a new light. In this light, we see that wellness is not a state of mind; it is a state of being.
