The goal of Annabelle Maurer’s nonfiction book, Finding Happiness & Purpose with Stage 4 Cancer, is to give those who are facing life-threatening illnesses like cancer the fortitude to overcome their fear and suffering, get through each day, and live meaningful lives.

The author, Annabelle, walked us through her experience of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, having both breast tumours removed surgically, learning afterward that the cancer had spread to other parts of her body, and now having stage 4 triple-negative metastatic breast cancer. She also talked about her unsuccessful chemotherapy attempts and her involvement in clinical trials. She was at her lowest moment in life, shattered and overwhelmed by all of these occurrences. She had a dream to live, discover her identity, her life’s purpose, and realise her dreams in the middle of all of these experiences. She had to undergo a great deal of introspection and self-discovery in order to accomplish this; she accepted the pain that comes with the sickness and endured it until no longer affected her.

During this journey, she is faced with so many trials, obstacles and setbacks, but she is determined not to allow the diagnoses and what her oncologist said to define her and time left to live in this world. She highlighted a list of steps, action plans in order to overcome the pain, live through it, find your life’s purpose and fulfil it; she highlighted the roles of supportive family and friends, meditation, visualization, positive thoughts, spirituality, exercise and a balanced diet in her quest to conquer the fear and pain in order to gain inner strength to live happy, find purpose.

Are you battling with cancer or any other terminal illness? Are you in a difficult situation and looking for a way to finding yourself and live a purposeful life? What do you do when faced with so much pain and tribulation? How do you overcome illnesses and difficult situations in life? Learn more by reading this wonderful book.

There weren’t many mistakes in the book that I noticed, but the editors should still fix them. They didn’t hinder my reading. This book receives a rating of five stars overall from me. It was wonderfully written, purpose driven and best for anyone looking to overcome challenges in life. Overall, a great read.
I think everyone who appreciates inspirational, soul searching books should read this book.
