Reviewed by Mansoor Ahmed for Readers' Favorite

Rise and Thrive Above Cancer is a beneficial guideline offering hope for people with cancer. As a doctor and cancer survivor, Dr. Achim Zinggrebe provides accessible guidance and support to readers. From his experiential perspective, Zinggrebe integrates emotional and spiritual knowledge, which incorporates spirit guide direction and internal self-reflection. He describes the important aspects that helped him cope with cancer, such as treatment planning, doctor conversations, and supportive team development. Patients who are looking for advice will find strategies for maximising therapy, group participation, questions to ask doctors, and emotional stability techniques. The author openly discusses fear and inner strength, guiding readers to grow from their cancer experience beyond crisis management. Through his warm and understanding voice, the narrative gives a feeling of personal support from a caring friend.

The book’s straightforward writing style, with its comforting tone, creates a smooth read despite dealing with difficult subject matter. These personal stories are interwoven with practical advice at a comfortable reading pace, keeping me engrossed in the book. I could relate to the emotions and struggles as I lost my aunt to stomach cancer. Achim Zinggrebe avoids medical jargon and focuses on authentic emotional connections and inner healing transformations in human relationships. According to the author, your life story does not end with a cancer diagnosis. The book elevates readers through its main themes that celebrate both courage and acceptance while demonstrating spiritual awareness. Rise and Thrive Above Cancer provides valuable information for patients and their carers and anyone seeking strength. This book is one of the few books I completed in one go! I loved every single thing about it.

Rise and Thrive Above Cancer by Achim Zinggrebe is a well-written book that demonstrates a holistic approach to health and wellness that encompasses the body, mind, and soul beyond traditional medicine. Achim begins by taking readers through his journey from a doctor focused on cancer research to his transition into the pharmaceutical industry while trying to fight the fear of being diagnosed with cancer. However, in 2017, a biopsy indicated that he had lymphoid cancer. The story follows a moment of doubt, the quest to fight, Achim’s journey to recovery, and more. Other topics this book explores include breaking free from depression, making decisions about your treatment, which involves asking the right questions, and more. Beyond medicine, Achim suggests some beneficial practices, which include meditation, breathing techniques, visualization, and affirmations.

This book is inspiring and informative. One thing that stands out is that the practices and discussions featured benefit not only readers battling cancer but also those who intentionally want to pursue healthy living. I commend Achim for sharing his story as a means of hope to inspire people battling cancer. His writing is not only engaging but also stirred compassion in me. The writing is detailed, straightforward, and easy to comprehend. It is also well paced and organized from start to finish. I love the online bonus pages for readers like me seeking more insights and the level of research invested in this book. This book features themes on survival, courage, healthy living, and more. I recommend Rise and Thrive Above Cancer by Achim Zinggrebe to anyone battling cancer, as this book will inspire hope in them.
