Recensione:

Praise for The FORCE Program

"As a neuro-oncologist and pediatric oncologist who is also a twenty-five year survivor of recurrent, disseminated testicular cancer, I recognize from my own personal as well as professional experience the valuable role of programs like FORCE as an integral part of the therapeutic process. This book should be essential reading for health care providers as well as for patients."
--JONATHAN D. FINLAY, M.D.
Director, Stephen D. Hassenfeld Children's Cancer Center
NYU Medical Center

"Growing clinical evidence supports the value of exercise to promote overall health and fight depression. The FORCE program, incorporating physical activity and strength-building, has made a real difference for many cancer survivors. Mr. Berman's commitment and energy have served as an inspiration and example to hundreds of patients who often feel defeated and helpless after a diagnosis of cancer. FORCE lets them take an active role in their recovery, and truly 'move on' to a better way of life."
--KARRIE ZAMPINI, M.S.W., C.S.W.
Director, Post Treatment Resource Program
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

"The FORCE program provides a practical step-by-step approach to improved nutrition and fitness that will optimize health. The authors should be congratulated on an eminently readable book that will empower patients to fight disease recurrence and live full and healthy lives."
--JOANN MANSON, M.D.
Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
Chief of Preventive Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital
Author of The 30-Minute Fitness Solution

"If you or a loved one has cancer and you want 'to do more' in managing it, you can turn to this highly readable book by three people ideally qualified to produce it: a superb writer on health and fitness, a top oncologist who uses exercise in helping her own patients manage their disease, and a man who both has lived with cancer and has created the FORCE program, one that truly works!"
--STEVEN JONAS, M.D., M.P.H., M.S.
Professor of Preventive Medicine, School of Medicine, Stony Brook University

"The FORCE program exemplifies the how-to-do-it for cancer patients who want to eliminate the bad stress in their lives, utilize positive coping strategies, and lead healthier lifestyles by using good nutrition and suitable physical activity. The authors have done an excellent job of taking the content of the group sessions into the home of every cancer patient."
--KATHRYN M. KASH, Ph.D.
