Being afflicted with cancer causes immense pain, not only for the patients but also for the loved ones of those who are beset. It is completely accurate that cancer is a noncurable chronic condition that often results in demise, but there have been many instances where people have miraculously survived cancer. Are you one of them? Do you recognize any of them? Prepare for this short, substantial, heartfelt audiobook comprised of self-help messages written in prose, chants, and bonus commentaries that will assist you in alleviating the psychological trauma you're currently facing, the abyss that is intermittently spanning your whole entity, and the decaying hope that continues to plague you. This book aims not only to treat cancer but also to address the often overlooked side effects of a cancer diagnosis. The psychological gashes, emotional abscesses, mental carbuncles, pressuring desperation, heckling apprehensions, a soundscape of infesting frustrations, and the aftereffects of existence after a cancer diagnosis do not cease with one's diagnosis. The author's purpose is to empower cancer patients through this creation and to provide ephemeral assistance in the best possible way to our cancer patients who are struggling to heal, survive, and rise again.

Higher Ground is an intriguing audiobook that aims to support all cancer patients, whether recently diagnosed, in therapy, fully completed therapeutic interventions, cancer survivors, or those adversely affected tacitly by cancer. She uses her expertise, enthusiasm, and purpose for handling cancer patients and allowing them to express their worries, which captivated her to publish a heartbreaking creation that will undoubtedly make you shed tears. The book implied the power of instilling optimism, self-worth, and mental recovery. With this, she empathically supports her patients not only to come to grips with their cancer diagnosis but also to transcend the psychological neurotoxicity associated with cancer to improve their mental health. As someone who comes from a family of cancer hereditaries, it's troubling that the majority of my family members starved to death from various types of cancer. My grandfather battled and passed away from cancer a year ago, which was exacerbated by the Coronavirus brought me to tears while reading this, and I aspire to pledge Sophia Edwards-Bennett's astounding work to make him pay heed to it. Each line and provision made by the author's adept skills are exceedingly beneficial to many people.

The audiobook is brief, and it made me want to read and listen to more of the author's works. It's in the nature of poetry or prose to include subtle context, which I struggled to discern at times. Still, I can merely emphasize that the primary purpose was effectively consolidated. The author provided complex terminologies and vocabulary that forced me to search for them, which accentuated the negative aspects of the book that I discovered.

On a larger scale, the book is fast-paced, short, and thought-provoking. It is comforting to know that some writers still produce masterpieces based solely on their purpose and not on the trend. The book is a treasure because it is abundantly apparent how much the author genuinely cares for cancer patients, and she is rare in this regard. Each verse has a great significance that needs to be recognized by cancer patients to give them faith, which I keenly felt. Overall, I gave this book 4 out of 4 stars because of its enormous value and the phenomenal pieces established by the author’s emotional core, which can be a source of new learning. It is professionally edited and will undoubtedly transport you to a different time and place.

The book is intended to assist all cancer patients and survivors. It is designed for them to rekindle their minds and not give up. Doctors, psychologists, and mental health professionals may also benefit from this work in order to emulate the author's good and positive demeanor, instill in them the spirit of kindness for cancer patients and envision for them the incidences and real-life events that happen in the healthcare profession. I reckon the author made her work longer in order to provide more intimate encouragement to the victims. The book is well worth reading and is truly a gem for cancer survivors. To all those who are currently struggling with cancer, know that we will get through this. Just continue to fight and to believe.
