The Art of Radical Self-Love provides tools that build a new life supported by self-empowerment along the journey to wellness. A nurse is someone who delivers direct patient care and acts as an advocate and health educator for patients and families. To most, this sounds like more than just tender loving care. To others it may create fear causing them to struggle and ignore their inherent healing power of self-love. You see, not everyone realizes that a deep love for themselves is essential to the healing process from within . . . a most radical concept.

As a professional nurse for more than 30 years, Mary Joosten Lopata, MA, RN, not only assisted with patient care, she also observed patients. At times, she would wonder why the same treatment often resulted in vastly different outcomes. Then her perspective changed when she was unexpectedly stricken with illness. Mary now became the patient and her life was suddenly under the microscope.

Had Mary's training as a Holistic nurse betrayed her? Or was she now learning to restore wellness from a new source? In The Art of Radical Self-Love, Mary Joosten Lopata shares her healing journey from the wisdom of a nurse with the heart of a vulnerable patient, to someone with a life that now overflows with newfound self-love.

The Art of Radical Self-Love is a roadmap to restoring personal wellness from within. This guide treats healing as it truly is, an ?art? that flows with the patient as needs fluctuate and shift to the ever-changing circumstances despite today's corporate-dictated healthcare system.
