Fantastic book for so many reasons. Great stories about healing, love, and What Really Matters. Generally short chapters so you can pick it up and put it down easily. Good amount of white space in text makes it easier/more inviting to read.

I love this book of beautiful, heartfelt, wise, and powerful stories. Stories of healing, loving, living.
I've probably given away 5-10 copies to special people at special times.

Book based on the concept of "kitchen table wisdom", the human tradition of shared experiences. Dr. Remen gives an insight as to what real healing is about. Good one!

Great book - very similar to "My Grandfather's Blessings" which she has also written. It is a very inspiring and certainly allows you to put your life into perspective.
My therapist recommended this book to me. I would not have ever picked it up on my own but I'm so glad she told me about it.
wonderful book, awesome stories, very inspiring.
Good book, good ideas
Great read
Cute little stories that help to develop a positive outlook on life.
This book is full of wisdom and insight by Dr. Remen. She is an experienced physician, a pioneer of holistic medicine, counsels cancer patients and their families, and lives with a chronic medical condition herself. Her compassion really comes through in her writing. Each chapter offers jewels of wisdom and comfort.
Well written stories of a physician's life lessons learned from her patients.
This has passed around my to all my sisters and sisters-in-law. We've all learned and laughed as we read it-hope you enjoy!
Short stories that uplift and heal. Main titles of sections include "Life force, Judgment, Traps, Freedom, Opening the heart and Embracing Life" Would be helpful to many persons who want to enhance their life journey.
A must read for all interested in medicine.
Wonderfully human.
