Hi Sherry-
If you are looking for a spiritual book about the self rather than the spiritual path of others, take a peek at this link (at the end of my thread). I know, I know... so Oprah recommended it... So what.
Actually, I know a scientific researcher that specializes in research for breast cancer treatments using Herceptin as a carrier for tumor targeting and cell membrane transport of nanoparticles for nuclear imaging... - my point is that even brilliant people have difficult issues.
I think many of us get stuck in the what ifs and what the future holds instead of focusing on the present. We think too much without talking to ourselves. We are great at giving advice but don't
listen to ourselves.
Anyway, the brilliant scientist had both her breasts removed because she did not want to go through life wondering if they were going to eventually "Do her in", despite her very good health and NO CANCER risk !
She recommended the book to me.
There are as many books as there are experiences garnered from them.
