Faith, Hope and Healing: Inspiring Lessons Learned from People Living with Cancer
"Bernie Siegel is one of the greatest healers of our time. The stories he shares in Faith, Hope, and Healing demonstrate the healing effect of treating cancer not just with conventional medicine but by changing the way you think about your disease, the way you act toward those who love and care for you, and the way you feel about yourself. The mind is the most powerful tool you have for fighting back." -Deepak Chopra, author of Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment

About the author
BERNIE S. SIEGEL, M.D., is a retired pediatric surgeon and the author of Love, Medicine and Miracles, Peace, Love and Healing and How to Live Between Office Visits. Love, Medicine and Miracles remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for over a year.
In 2011, Watkins' Mind Body Spirit magazine named Siegel one of the world’s Top 20 Spiritually Influential Living People. He trained at Yale–New Haven Hospital, West Haven Veterans Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and served as assistant clinical professor of general and pediatric surgery at Yale University until his retirement in 1989.
In 1978, Siegel founded Exceptional Cancer Patients, a group therapy program. That work with patients shaped the themes of healing and medicine that run throughout his books.
Bernie lives in a suburb of New Haven, Connecticut, with his wife Bobbie.
