| |  | | Healing through Humor: Change Your Focus, Change Your Life! What's funny about a brain injury or breast cancer? You'll be surprised. Annette Langer has created just the "portable support group" a person needs to get through hard times with her easy-to-read book. It chronicles her many personal challenges in life, including brain injury suffered in a head-on auto accident and breast cancer. All the while, Langer stays upbeat and positive, guiding the reader to discover the inner strength to meet his or her own challenges.
This feel-good book is sprinkled with generous doses of humorous, personal stories surrounding the author's various mishaps and maladies as well as sage advice on coping with struggles. Her true-life stories show the "funny side" of some not-so-funny challenges and demonstrate the upside to the uphill struggles with illness and injury and the downhill triumphs in overcoming them.
You'll find such chapters as "How to Bathe While Bandaged or in a Plaster Cast" and "My First Cruise...My First Gallbladder Attack" to tickle your funny bone. Other parts of the book offer more serious, practical coping techniques. You're left with the realization that better times are possible despite the obstacles, and you'll learn ways to discover your own funny stories in the process.
Healing Through Humor is the perfect get-well gift for anyone struggling to overcome a medical challenge or even as a reward for yourself when you're facing less than sunny times. Take the journey to self-empowerment and survival, even in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances, with a good laugh along the way.
