I got hooked from the first paragraph of this review. Battling cancer is a tough experience and doing so with a sense of humour is another level. This memoir I believe will be beneficial for everyone, not just those battling the illness.

:eusa-think: "Stage Fright" is a profoundly inspiring and practical guide for navigating the emotional turmoil of cancer. John Gore's courageous account of his personal journey offers 15 invaluable rules for coping with the disease. With honesty, vulnerability, and humor, Gore addresses the psychological and emotional challenges that often accompany cancer diagnosis and treatment. His rules, ranging from "Face Your Fears" to "Find Your Tribe," provide actionable advice and reassurance. This book is not only a lifeline for patients but also a valuable resource for loved ones, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Gore's resilience, optimism, and generosity make "Stage Fright" an essential read for anyone affected by cancer.

Your criticism of the business-related sections is fair, but it’s clear that this didn’t affect your enjoyment of the overall message. Great balance between praise and critique!
