A New Way of Living
by Ian Gawler

Ian Gawler was a young practising veterinarian living in Australia.  In 1975 he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had his right leg amputated at the hip.  He underwent an intensive series of cancer treatments and then went off to India and China to master meditation and mindfulness which he says is one of the key factors along with diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle changes to conquering cancer.

Gawler gives guidance about  treatment options, meditation as a tool for healing and cancer fighting nutrition, food and diet.  He gives explanations about the difference between a wellness diet and the healing diet.

Gawler emphasizes the power of the mind throughout this book.  The importance of family, social support and the spiritual dimension of life.  This book is a unique guide to help people overcome the difficult challenges that they have to face with their cancer diagnosis.

As one book reviewer states:

"Regardless of religious beliefs or life situations, any reader would benefit from the Mindfulness-Based Stillness Meditation (MBSM) techniques clearly outlined here. There are many user-friendly books that teach basic meditation, but this edition is particularly unique in its authors’ life stories and expertise in the mind-body connection. … in India learning from masters at a Tibetan monastery, and Gawler, diagnosed with swiftly fatal osteogenic sarcoma at the age of 24, overcame his painful disease through meditation and lifestyle change and has remained cancer-free since 1978."-- Kirkus Review
