"""If you thought cancer could not possibly be funny, Dr. Cindy Howard's book will change your view. For her, laughter is a wellness strategy, one of a wide array of healing tools she employed to strengthen her mind and body through months of chemotherapy. Her cancer story is a lively and engaging read-raw, honest, and often hilarious. ""It feels like listening to a very amusing friend talk about her life late into the night after a good dinner; she's letting everything hang out, whether admirable, irritating, embarrassing, sad, or funny. You'll have moments where you go ‛Ow!' or ‛Eeeww' or ‛Seriously, you did what?!' And in between the funny bits and the angry bits, she drops in some interesting wellness information and some provocative opinions. ""For anyone facing a life challenge, this book makes a persuasive case that, in addition to seeking out medical expertise, it's vital to know yourself and harness that self-knowledge to promote healing."" -Edith Forbes, author of Alma Rose, Nowle's Passing, and Tracking a Shadow ""I couldn't put this one down; it made me laugh, and it made me cry. Your story is a wonderful example of how to smile in the face of adversity, to say ‛Try me!' instead of ‛Why me?' and to have the faith to stay ‛in spirit' through the toughest of times. Cindy is David and has slayed Goliath!"" -Bill Storm, corporate trainer, international speaker, Tony Robbins Companies ""Pull up a chair, grab a glass of wine or a cup of coffee, and enjoy this conversation with Dr. Howard. You'll be drawn in by her breezy banter, positive outlook, and unabashed honesty. With asides galore, Positively Altered is like sitting down with your best girlfriend and dishing on some of life's most difficult challenges-cancer, divorce, child-rearing."" -Renée Harmon, MD, author of Surfing the Waves of Alzheimer's ""Cindy is the perfect person to write a book about making room for what's important in your life. When you leave a conversation with her, you can't help but feel inspired to move the needle a little further in a positive direction. With a caring personality, confidence, and an unapologetic drive, Cindy brings out the best in all of us. She shows up on each page of her book with vulnerability and empathy for the various challenges we face."" -Stephanie Halloran, chiropractic physician, Boundless Health ""Do yourself a favor; don't drink any liquids while reading this memoir, or you might find them coming out of your nose! Cindy's hilarious delivery on topics ranging from relationships to raising kids to navigating cancer is not to be missed. Her unique and optimistic outlook will challenge you to think differently about your own life and any adversity you're facing. Refreshingly and sometimes shockingly real, Cindy's personal obstacles become your learning opportunities."" -Joey Coleman, award-winning keynote speaker and author of Never Lose an Employee Again and Never Lose a Customer Again"
