Choose to Live

This remarkable story of survival—with determination, humor, and joy—“can show you how to turn a curse into a blessing” (Bernie Siegel, MD).

Life is good for Joyce and Kevin—traveling, having fun with friends, holding down a successful Wall Street career, building their dream home and planning a big family. Then, in what feels like an instant, the young couple’s dream life shatters, when Kevin is paralyzed after a brain hemorrhage and they are both diagnosed with late-stage cancers.

At thirty-five years old, they are devastated to learn there is little hope they will see their baby's next birthday. Take an amazing and inspiring journey with this young couple who refuse to accept the grim diagnosis when their world comes crashing down around them. Instead, they choose to live. And together, miraculously, they beat all the odds. Kevin is walking again, and they both are cancer free ten years later.

Discover the keys for your own health and well-being. By healing the body from the inside out, you can live a life brimming with physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Awaken to a world that few know even exists—and where anything is possible.

Joyce O'Brien, Bernie Siegel

Joyce O’Brien is an inspirational and motivational speaker, founder of Choose to Live!, and author of the #1 Bestseller, Choose to Live. In a five-year period, Joyce's husband, Kevin, had a brain hemorrhage which left him paralyzed and then was diagnosed with stage 3B cancer, followed by Joyce being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2000. Faced with their devastating diagnoses, Joyce, an Executive Vice President on Wall Street, left an 18-year career to begin her healing journey. Now, Joyce and Kevin are healthy and cancer-free for over 19 years. Blessed with reversing the cancers and other health issues, Joyce’s life mission became clear: to motivate, inspire and empower others with tools to improve their health. Investing years in training, researching, and studying with top doctors and experts in holistic health, she discovered many of the secrets of what makes one sick and how to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually. Joyce consults, appears in media, and speaks internationally on healthy living --body, mind, and spirit. She lives in East Northport, New York.
