The Sunday Times No.1 Bestseller 'Deborah James has captured the
heart of the nation' - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
@KensingtonRoyal 'Brave, bright, beautiful' - Lorraine Kelly
'Deborah's ability to find positivity in the darkest of places is
an inspiration to us all' - Davina McCall 'This book has shaken me
awake. I gulped it down in one sitting, then sat and cried... [But]
hope is a character on every single page' - Christie Watson I was
alive when I should have been dead. In another movie, I missed the
sliding door and departed this wondrous life long ago. Like so many
others, I had to learn to live not knowing if I have a tomorrow,
because, statistically, I didn't. At the age of 35, I was
blindsided by incurable bowel cancer - I was given less than an 8
per cent chance of surviving five years. Five years later, my only
option was to live in the now and to value one day at a time. How
do you turn your mind from a negative spiral into realistic and
rebellious hope? How do you stop focusing on the why and realise
that 'why not me' is just as valid a question? When Deborah James
was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer at just 35, she learned a
powerful lesson: the way we respond to any given situation empowers
or destroys us. And with the right skills and approach, we can all
face huge challenges and find strength and hope in the darkest of
places. How to Live When You Could Be Dead will show you how. It
will awaken you to question your life as if you didn't have a
tomorrow and live it in the way you want to today. By harnessing
the power of positivity and valuing each day as though it could be
your last, you'll find out, as Deborah did, that it is possible to
live with joy and purpose, no matter what. Ebury, a division of
Penguin Random House, will pay GBP3 from the sale of each copy of
How To Live When You Could Be Dead by Deborah James sold in the UK
to Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK. Cancer Research UK is a

There are so many therapies, healing practices and alternative
medicines on offer, at so many levels, that it can be confusing.
David Vennells is experienced in most of them. After being asked
many times by clients and patients "What can I do to help myself or
family/friend get well" he decided to write the answer. Here is the
distilled wisdom of many years practice; a number of complementary
therapies which are safe, easy to learn from a book, and combine
wonderfully with each other to form a simple but powerful system of
healing for body and mind. You don't need to be an expert, or to
ask one - all these are designed as simple and effective forms of
natural medicine that anyone can practice. Follow the clear
explanations in the book, and within a few weeks or even days you
can begin to enjoy treating yourself, friends and family with
confidence and success. Throughout the book, David emphasises that
healing begins with a good heart. It is as much our own attitude as
the healing technique that is significant. Drawing on his
experience of Buddhist meditation and practice, he offers a number
of tips and exercises for the reader to approach their healing in
the right frame of mind.
