About this book
Before Lance Armstrong and his bike, there was Ian Gawler and his inspirational fight for survival against cancer—the inspiring life story of the cancer survivor, renowned mind/body pioneer, and author of You Can Cure Cancer
Through many hours of interviews and diary extracts, Ian Gawler reveals his amazing story for the first time in this honest, unflinching, portrait. In 1974 at the age of 24, Dr. Ian Gawler, an ambitious young veterinarian and athlete, developed bone cancer in his right leg. The leg was amputated at the hip. The following year, the cancer spread to his pelvis and chest. Gawler was told that nothing could be done and that he had only weeks to live. This biography reveals in full how Gawler refused to give up in the face of these challenges, and began studying meditation, following a strict diet, and pursuing an intense regime of research, introspection, and personal development. Against all odds and prognoses, his cancer began to retreat, and he was eventually declared clear of cancer in 1978. His legendary bestseller, You Can Conquer Cancer, was published in 1984, going on to sell nearly 200,000 copies in more than 13 languages. Ian Gawler is now a world-renowned pioneer in the therapeutic application of mind/body medicine and meditation. His story is of an unorthodox, compassionate, and courageous fighter whose own journey has been an inspiration to the lives of so many others.
