About the Author

Greg Anderson is the Founder & CEO of Cancer Recovery Foundation International, a global affiliation of national organizations whose mission is to help all people prevent and survive cancer. Anderson was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 1984. His surgeon gave him just 30 days to live. Refusing to accept the hopelessness of this prognosis, Greg went searching for people who had lived even though their doctors had told them they were "terminal." His findings from interviews with over 16,000 cancer survivors form the strategies and action points for what has become an international movement. Cancer Recovery Foundation focuses on the non-medical aspects of cancer prevention and survival. Its award-winning "integrated cancer care" model combines nutrition, exercise, mind/body, social support and spirituality with conventional medical care. The Foundation has established affiliates in the United States, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. Anderson lectures widely and is recognized as one of the world's foremost wellness pioneers. His insights have helped redefine the very meaning of health to embrace the whole person-the physical, the emotional and the spiritual. Anderson's fourteen books, CDs and DVDs include: The Cancer Conqueror (Word Publishing, 1988) Cancer: 50 Essential Things to Do (Penguin 1990) The Triumphant Patient (Nelson, 1992) Healing Wisdom (Penguin, 1994) The 22 (Non-Negotiable) Laws of Wellness (Harper Collins, 1996) Living Life on Purpose (Harper Collins, 1997) Incredible Wellness (Turning Point, 1999) Creating Wellness (Turning Point, 2000) Cancer and Nutrition (Turning Point, 2002) Healing and the Mind (Turning Point, 2004) Cancer and the Lord's Prayer (Meredith, 2006) Health is More than Healthcare (PBS, 2008) Hope: The Force that Sets Your Course (Turning Point, 2009) Breast Cancer: 50 Essential Things You Can Do (Conari, 2011) Anderson's published works currently total over 3.4-million copies, they have been translated into 34 different languages and several are established classics of their kind.
