Dare to Choose

There is absolutely no one on planet Earth who would not benefit from reading this warm, engaging, inspiring and empowering book. Marie Chronopoulos has crafted an appealing and practical primer with gifts to offer to anyone willing to undertake an open-minded journey toward a better life. The easy-to-read text is peppered with inspirational quotes, real-life photos documenting Chronopoulos’ journey, recipes and schedules, airy graphics, and details of her own personal experiences--details which touch the heart even as they inspire the mind and the spirit. Perhaps Marie’s own words, quoted from the Introduction, say it best: “You are not alone. You have a purpose. You are loved. And just like me, you have the power; you can make changes and create new miracles in your life, if you dare to choose.”

Reading Marie Chronopoulos’ life story will cause anyone to shift their life’s perspective and see that it's the quality of life of how we live, what we eat and how we deal with day to day challenges that reflects our outcome, especially when faced with a life threatening disease. This book is all about choices, truth, and facing the man in the mirror. What you say to yourself and how you think throughout the day becomes your reality. So let's answer these questions again. What are you living for? What makes you happy? Embrace with me what Marie Chronopoulos teaches, take the reins of your life, and visualize a new you.

Marie Chronopoulos explains how she manages, even with a very hectic schedule. It truly is a no-excuses type of support. On top of that, readers will find easy recipes to create breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Far from being a book of recipes, but having a few included, the book offers a great example of how it CAN be done. Marie also shares how to improve the health of one’s spirit, mind and physical body through meditation and exercise. Dare to Choose is a very well-written book that will uplift readers who may be facing life-threatening illness, and it will inspire readers who are not to take measures to create a solid plan of prevention.

Faced with a poor prognosis, and told to set her affairs in order, Marie decided to take control of her life and to face the threat of cancer head on. She details the way she did this, which was basically changing her whole lifestyle. But not just the way she lived, what she ate, and products she used, but by changing her mindset: thinking positively, exploring self-belief and love for others as well as love for herself.

There are practical aspects like healthy living and some recipes to try. There is examination of meditation and ways to achieve this with breathing exercises, and discussion on the power of self-belief. So not only is this book one woman’s journey to overcome the impossible, it is a practical guide to others who may find themselves faced with a similar life-changing scenario.

From nutrition to exercise, from healthy habits to a powerful mindset, and from healing thoughts and meditation to a deep spiritual reach, Marie Chronopoulos guides readers on a journey towards wholeness and happiness. Dare to Choose: A Journey of Self-Healing is laced with interesting and entertaining anecdotes, insightful writing, and thoughts that will inspire readers. Written in a light-hearted and encouraging tone, this book will resonate in the hearts of those suffering from any kind of illness, and those seeking to live healthier and more meaningful lives. Here is one of the books I will be revisiting very often to find wisdom and light.
