Peace Etc.: (a journey through open heart surgery and other scary things, written to lessen your anxiety, whatever it may be)

"oh my god words cannot describe what it is like waking up 18 hours or more after your head hit the pillow on an operating table where you are to undergo a surgery that is routine, to everyone in the room but you it seems like an eternal two seconds have passed, and you “come to” and realize that you are alive, alive to another day that is unfathomably better than anything you could win at a lottery store words cannot describe what it is like to wait in the holding room with your family before such a serious surgery, when everyone whispers or chokes up in your ear about loving you, and whispers that everything will be ok, when in the back of everyone’s mind, or at least mine, there is the thought, the not very peaceful thought, that this could be the final goodbye..." In his latest book, psychotherapist Bob Beverley takes us on a gripping journey through open heart surgery and more to explore the depths of fear, the heights of hope and the peace that can be discovered in-between. Accompanied by the stunning photography of David and Julie Spagnolo, "Peace Etc." will change the way you look at the world—and yourself—forever.
