In her previous book, The Choice, Bernadette Bohan described her remarkable recovery from cancer and, based on her own experience, provided a programme of personal change to promote health and well-being.





Many thousands of people have subsequently attended her lectures and seminars and have seen her regularly on television. Her home became a meeting place for those with various health challenges and soon it became apparent to her that it was habits of mind that prevented many people from making the dietary and lifestyle changes that were imperative to recovery.





The Survivor's Mindset provides a series of easily understood strategies that assist in overcoming the hesitancies, fears and prejudices that so often are a barrier to making personal change.

These real stories from real people illustrate vividly how lifestyles can be restructured both physically and mentally.
