Stage Fright by John Gore is a memoir by a seasoned golfer and British Petroleum's government relations officer who shares his journey as a multiple-time advanced-stage cancer survivor. The book combines Gore's positive outlook and humor to offer an uplifting narrative, including 15 practical rules for coping with cancer that apply to everyday life. Congrats on BOTD!

What a heartfelt review! The author's attitude and his wife's support seem so genuine and uplifting. I’m excited to explore how his 15 rules can apply to everyday life, not just during tough times.

The memoir successfully balances the author's personal experiences with relatable content. It touches on various aspects of his life, including his love for golf, his relationship with his wife Toni, and his professional life. Despite being a cancer book, the author's ability to share funny anecdotes is commendable.

I like that the book talks about 15 rules of coping with cancer and that the wife was supportive throughout the author's cancer journey.

I like the positive attitude the author exhibited, knowing fully well he’s sick. I would actually be most interested in what the author did for a living.

Hi @Huini Hellen, I just read your comments on the official review of "Stage Fright", and I was amazed at the resiliency of John Gore and his incredible journey beating cancer three times since he was first diagnosed at age 50 and he was still alive at age 75 when he wrote the book. I highly recommend this book for cancer victims and people that feel that they have nothing to live for. @Mrlefty0706
