About this listen
A brand-new edition of the best-selling classic with added and updated practices.
In 2001, Toni Bernhard got sick and, to her and her partner’s bewilderment, stayed that way. As they faced the confusion, frustration, and despair of a life with sudden limitations - a life that was vastly different from the one they’d thought they’d have together - Toni had to learn how to be sick.
In spite of her many physical and energetic restrictions (and sometimes, because of them), Toni learned how to live a life of equanimity, compassion, and joy. This audiobook reminds us that our own inner freedom is limitless, regardless of our external circumstances.
Updated with new insights and practices hard-won from Toni’s own ongoing life experience, this is a must-hear for anyone who is - or who might one day be - sick or in pain.

The relevance of Buddhism to chronic illness
I have been practising ‘western’ mindfulness mediation (using the popular apps) for the three years that I have been suffering from acute chronic pain (following disastrous spinal surgery and a 12 hour emergency follow up operation). It made no difference to my pain, though perhaps helped in other ways. This book places mindfulness and other techniques / approaches in the context of the teachings of the Buddha, and in doing so it all starts to make sense.
It is a shame that Toni became chronically ill, but in doing so she has given back to the world even more than she would have ever done as a professor of law. Her bad luck became our good luck.
