Everyone has a personal journey to take. Each life is unique in its presence, role and purpose. The Inner Journey offers a proven and powerful model that helps readers to methodically identify the personal journey that lies ahead. Most assessment and occupational approaches relate to the person's characteristics and typology, established from systematic questionnaires. The model developed by author Ilana Weibel in her groundbreaking book harnesses the unique individuality and hidden purpose of the reader, from within their personal fabric of desires and passions. Based upon successful outcomes with hundreds of people, the model presents a series of stages, encompassing processes and questions that carry the individual towards his or her deepest inner workings. There is no typology involved, and no pre-determined categories or pigeon holes to fit into. The work in The Inner Journey is highly personal. The process at every stage is designed to uncover and define the path that will lead to the fulfillment of the reader's uniquely individual life mission.

Winner, 2011 Best Book in the History of Medicine, European Association for the History of Medicine and Health Modern scientific tools can identify a genetic predisposition to cancer before any disease is detectable. Some women will never develop breast or ovarian cancer, but they nevertheless must decide, as a result of genetic testing, whether to have their breasts and ovaries removed to avoid the possibility of disease. The striking contrast between the sophistication of diagnosis and the crudeness of preventive surgery forms the basis of historian Ilana Löwy’s important study. Löwy traces the history of prophylactic amputations through a century of preventive treatment and back to a long tradition of surgical management of gynecological problems. In the early twentieth century, surgeons came to believe that removing precancerous lesions—a term difficult to define even today—averted the danger of malignancy. This practice, Löwy finds, later led to surgical interventions for women with a hereditary predisposition to cancer but no detectable disease. Richly detailed stories of patients and surgeons in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom allow Löwy to compare the evolution of medical thought and practice—and personal choice—in these different cultures. Preventive Strikes aims to improve our understanding of professional, social, and cultural responses to cancer in the twenty-first century and to inform our reflections about how values are incorporated into routine medical practices.Ilana Löwy
