Diagnosed with a disease that can't be reversed? Learn how to keep living life to the fullest.

Have you received a terminal or chronic diagnosis? Is your mind succumbing to age or illness? Can you ever find joy, peace, or fulfillment in these challenging conditions? The answer is a resounding yes.

Author Jarem Sawatsky saw the countless guides out there for those caring for the ill and healing the curable, but when he was diagnosed with Huntington's Disease he found there was nothing for those living with incurable illness. He quit his job as a professor and devoted his life to exploring the possibilities of living with chronic conditions. Now he's bringing his findings and insights to you.

In Dancing with Elephants, you'll discover:

• Simple practices to bring healing to your heart and life to your new outlook
• Humorous (and occasionally heart-wrenching) stories of Sawatsky's own journey
• Multiple ways to build confidence in yourself, even when you've been shaken to the core
• A new perspective to cut some of the pain and renew your spirit
• Practical tools to face your seemingly inescapable fears, and much, much more!

Based on the popular blog of the same name, Dancing with Elephants includes insightful interviews with chronic disease experts Toni Bernhard, Lucy Kalanithi, and Patch Adams. Sawatsky's landmark book provides support that only a fellow traveler down this road can offer. If you like touching stories, mindful wisdom, and a touch of irreverent humor, then you'll love Sawatsky's life-changing book.

Deeply touching

Jerem's gift of insite in this wonderful book will touch you deeply. Suffering and uncertainty are not so dark with lights like this book. There is human dignity between these pages. Hope too.

Lighthearted with the Heaviest Subject of All

This book is so special. Exactly what I needed to hear as the daughter and co-caregiver to my father with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), a rare form of dementia. The sound is wonky on audio, but not enough to distract. This story and this teaching will capture your heart.

Inspiring!

An amazingly uplifting guide to living with intention, gratitude, and joy with chronic illness. The personal and pertinent life examples and the myriad of meaningful mindfulness practices engender hope, inspiration and a proactive approach to living as fully as possible, even in the face of a dire health diagnosis.

Inspiration

Sad but helpful story that can help in challenging times. Recommend to any caregiver as well as anyone suffering chronic, debilitating or life threatening illness.

Dancing with Elephants by Jaren Sawatsky

I enjoyed reading this book . As a chaplain with 20+ years experience in ministering to those with chronic illness I found Mr Sawatsky's reflections and advice concerning how one can grow in acceptance of a disease that will result in one's death to be profoundly spiritual and wise. I recommend that anyone serving persons who are chronically ill read this insightful book.

Good life planning

Really enjoyed this book that was recommended when searching dementia topics. Good life planning advice.

Everyone should read this

This book is the best book I have ever read. I thank anyone can read this book. It is extremely informal and not a dry read.

Fabulous

I am a general internist who has worked with her patients on Mindfulness as well as death and dying and living with chronic disease. This is a wonderful, at times painfully honest story which I plan to recommend to my groups

Un libro para todos

Es un libro no sólo para personas con alguna enfermedad. Es para cualquiera que quiera ser más feliz.

Thought provoking

As a geriatric care provider I wanted to read this to gain insight to my patients living with dementia and chronic disease. More insightful than I anticipated. Enjoyed his description of planning. Will recommend to patients and families.
