In 2001, Toni Bernhard got sick and, to her and her partner’s bewilderment, stayed that way.

In this book, Toni shares the practices she outlined to the reader in her bestselling classic How to Be Sick. Organized by specific challenge so that the reader can easily find a helpful, workable practice to address their situation and packaged in an easy-to-carry and easy-to-digest format, this is the experiential wisdom that has helped Toni live a life of equanimity, compassion, and joy, despite her many physical and energetic restrictions (and, sometimes, because of them).
