I have mixed feelings on reading this book. For one I admire and wish I could adopt the same positive mental attitude she has. I agree when you live with chronic conditions a lot of how we live and deal with it helps if we can remain positive so I took a lot of strength from that. However there was a lot of name dropping of famous people and extravagance which I didn’t appreciate. She was fortunate enough to see top Specailist all over the world and have the best treatment advice. Sadly many of us do not. I felt a bit like the wealth and privilege was rubbed in my face. I’m sure she didn’t mean to do this but that’s how it came across to me. Rather than speaking of extravagant holidays and dropping names I would have preferred to learn more about how she actually managed her condition as an every day person would.

This isn't so much a book about recovery from a debilitating illness as it is an meandering biography of a very wealthy and privileged individual who had the means and connections to try different things. She speaks about the energy and willpower of others with MS, but did they have the same resources as she did? Likely not. It was hard to follow, because it's like reading the tangential diary of a wasp. It should definitely have been labeled as religious, because I wouldn't have read it. I was hoping for actual information about how she overcame MS, but it seems like "have money" and "your attitude should be better" are the key bits of info the reader can glean from the absolute narcissistic drivel that was this book.
