I am not much for self-help books but this one is rather biographical. Shortly after she is married the author discovers that she has MS. As she copes with this difficult disease she finds herself losing her temper, crying, becoming addicted to the medications she is taking and feeling sorry for herself. Finally a friend suggests a strategy to focus on the positive - 29 days of giving. Gifts must be given without hope of receiving return but rather spontaneous and from the heart. All is not easy and this is not a cure all but it eventually helps the author begin to really live her life in spite of her disease. Eventually she begins to work again but not at the levels she worked prior to her diagnosis and finds happiness in her life. It's an interesting process that merits trying. The author includes stories from others who have become involved in 29 days of giving.
