Overcome The BS of MS: A 3-Step Plan For Women Living With Multiple Sclerosis

Wow! This book has so much to offer all of us who suffer from "stuck-ness" whether we have an autoimmune disease or not! Cohen shares her personal stories about physical challenges (getting engulfed in and overwhelmed by a Christmas tree), her stories of stubbornly clinging to her pride (to her detriment), and her honest recounting of times when she simply saw no humor in the situations in which she found herself. (Luckily, humor has had a way of showing up and knocking on her door.)Where Cohen's book hit home for me was during chapter 6 where she talks about cultivating a "rockstar mindset." Cohen asks us to answer some tough questions about limiting beliefs, and whether those limiting beliefs are a result of MS or perhaps were in our minds before the diagnosis. Then she creates this mental tool kit for anyone who is "stuck" to use. There are a bunch of tools for a person with physical limitations AND a bunch for anyone. She writes, "The problem with getting stuck is that we can't see past it to the other side when we are stuck!" Amen to that. Later, as a suggestion to shake a negative attitude, she writes, "The key is to do something to immediately change the negative focus that your mind has locked onto. On way to bust that mindset immediately is to just start moving somehow." She goes on to offer simple suggestions such as shifting positions, sitting up straight and smiling. Easy things for anyone to do, but hard to remember when stuck in a negative place.Lots of value here for anyone who needs to get moving towards their dreams and goals. Physical limitations or not!

Interesting maybe just not my cup of tea. Some good information, I'm just not into the way it was presented

If you have dreams that have been set aside because of chronic illness and need some help and encouragement to find the means and ability to overcome your illness to live your dream life then read this book. It really can help you get out of a rut and get back on track. It's really inspired me with my own struggles (not MS, but I feel like I can relate through a lot of the content and stories). Love the book, thankful I have found it.

Lisa Cohen is a rockstar and can show you how to be one too. Living with a chronic illness is difficult,but listening to this sound advice will show you how to live well even with the challenges of MS. And that's no BS.

This book felt like it was never getting to the point. It just keep staling and staling.

This is a great book - so positive and inspiring but really wide-eyed and full of life. You can tell Lisa Cohen is extraordinary and brings her sense of how to live life to this straightforward book. everyone who reads it, regardless of your condition, will be impressed and smile. There is much to learn here. Highly recommended.

First the 106 pages is misleading, the font is so big and spaced out it’s more like a 45 page pamphlet. There’s no real advice on how to better your day to day. Just a lot of you got this and be all you can be, regurgitated over and over.I’m sure this book has helped some people out there but if you’re looking for actual advice, I’d buy another book.

No one plans to have MS, this book can assist the reader in learing to accept and move forward. Sorry for typos

Wonderful and informative!
