------------------- I was alive when I should have been dead. In another movie I missed the
sliding door and departed this wondrous life long ago. Like so many others I had to learn to
live not knowing if I have a tomorrow because statistically I didn't. At the age of 35 I
was blindsided by incurable bowel cancer - I was given less than an 8 per cent chance of
surviving five years. Five years later my only option was to live in the now and to value one
day at a time. -------------------- How do you turn your mind from a negative spiral into
realistic and rebellious hope? How do you stop focusing on the why and realise that 'why not
me' is just as valid a question? When Deborah James was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer
at just 35 she learned a powerful lesson: the way we respond to any given situation empowers
or destroys us. And with the right skills and approach we can all face huge challenges and
find strength and hope in the darkest of places. How to Live When You Could Be Dead will show
you how. It will awaken you to question your life as if you didn't have a tomorrow and live it
in the way you want to today. By harnessing the power of positivity and valuing each day as
though it could be your last you'll find out as Deborah did that it is possible to live with
joy and purpose no matter what. Ebury a division of Penguin Random House will pay £2.50
