A Bit More Human

A study with the National Institutes of Health (Hajat C, Stein, 2018) estimates that approximately one-third of all adults suffer from multiple chronic conditions. This book is about how it took the author six months to get a diagnosis (instead of what was then 10 years, if ever). Today, many people are searching for answers and solutions to undiagnosed or mistreated health challenges. "A Bit More Human" is for people who can't do what they are used to doing--whether they are facing restrictions on diet, movement, hobbies, or work responsibilities due to health concerns. This book is meant to help people who are struggling under the weight of their new reality and to give them the perspective to recognize that, yes, life is different, but it's not lost. There are still areas that can be enjoyed and nurtured. It is a place to turn to when they don't necessarily want to have others around but need some solace, like friendship in a book or a comforting cup of tea.
