From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Bob's storytelling is both insightful and disarmingly honest. Despite the pain of his journey, he weaves in wit and humor with remarkable grace. His perspective is so powerful, it led me to wonder whether cancer-a disease often seen as life-limiting-might, in Bob's case, be life-expanding."; "Amazing book by an amazing man. The honesty is gut-wrenching...hearing the points of view of his whole family and how they were affected...for anyone going through an illness, or who has someone dear to them going through an illness. It give perspective from the inside. And even if you are not the one going through the illness, it give you perspective on how to process someone else's trials and tribulations. Very inspiring."; "Felt real and uplifting. The book surprised me with how uplifting it felt. Even in the darkest chapters, Robert finds small sparks of connection and meaning. He made me think about how resilience doesn't mean being unshakable. I liked that he doesn't try to act like he figured it all out. Instead, he shows what resilience actually looks like-messy, imperfect, but still possible."
