Book Reviews: Dr. Bernie Siegel & Yosaif August, and 40 Weeks +: The Essential Pregnancy Organizer

I filed my book reviews before I left for my Honeymoon. If all goes well, they will continue to appear while I'm gone.  


My review of Dr. Bernie Siegel and Yosaif August's book "Help Me To Heal: A Practical Guidebook For Patients, Visitors, and Caregivers" appeared in the Birmingham News last week. It was picked up by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution yesterday.

"A hospital room is no different than a hotel room —- it's yours as long as you pay for it," write Dr. Bernie Siegel and Yosaif August in their book, "Help Me to Heal: A Practical Guidebook for Patients, Visitors, and Caregivers" (Hay House, $19.95). While hospital stays are no vacation, they could be viewed as a rest stop on the road to wellville."

My review of "40 Weeks +: The Essential Pregnancy Organizer" appears in today's Birmingham News. Look for it in the Health section, second page, top left... Where you will find my book reviews each week. Here's an excerpt:

"Pregnancy can feel like an overwhelming task. Most expectant mothers have little time to contend with minor details, such as shopping lists, child-care options and birth announcements. For women who need help keeping it together, Dani Rasmussen and Antoinette Perez have created "40 Weeks+: The Essential Pregnancy Organizer."
