No single soul on this planet is fortunate enough to have smooth sailing when it comes to dealing with life challenges. Everyone has to go through the twists and turns of life while keeping their sanity intact and growing as a person. However, the journey becomes much more challenging if you have to cope with health complications as well.

Coping and Thriving with a Chronic Condition is a guidebook for people who are suffering from a chronic disease. This book not only discusses the difficulties such patients face to assure them that they are not alone in their journey but also presents ways to ease their suffering and eventually thrive while living with a chronic condition. It also aims to help those without a chronic condition learn more about the challenges of living with a life-long health condition so they can empathize with such patients.

There are dozens of books out about how to deal with chronic pain I'm sure, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading Carla Cobbs' take on it in her new book, Coping and Thriving with a Chronic Condition.

Carla was born with a chronic condition herself - arthrogryposis and later, high blood pressure, arthritis and chronic pain. You might even call her an expert in the field having lived it firsthand. That's the reason why I wanted to read her book since it was coming from the horse's mouth so to speak. 

The first two chapters are more or less her explaining in detail about these diseases which I didn't find boring in the least. It was written in easy to understand language which I appreciated.

The next chapter, Chapter 3, she explains how to cope with these ailments which I found very informative should I ever be in that position myself - very uplifting.

The rest of the chapters are very uplifting as well. It's like a pep talk but not only that it offers encouragement to those who feel as if their life has come to an end once they have been diagnosed. 

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. I give it 5 gold stars!
