DARE TO BE DIFFERENT has a rare transparency and honesty. Dr d'Felice is no stranger to illness and medical indifference and misdiagnosis. She tells her own story bravely and without any self-pity, although medical neglect has nearly killed her more than once and has disabled her. Consequently, there is no false optimism in this book. Dr d'Felice has something different to offer, something like a radiant faith in the way individuals who lack a sense of self-worth can redeem themselves and eventually love themselves. Her message is that life can be seized and is meant to be seized, despite affliction and in this way lies the salvation of the world in our basic kindness and understanding towards ourselves and all others in our lives. Her advice is practical and within several of the eight chapters are suggestions for journal writing, mindfulness and breathing exercises.
