The New York Times Bestseller "Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories That Heal". The beautiful book about life I recently read and fallen in love with the thinker and the author of this wonderful illuminative book, Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D. Dr. Remen sees the medicine as a spiritual path. Her groundbreaking holistic approach for curing life challenging diseases has enlightened the physicians at all levels of training to remember their calling and strengthen their commitment to serve life. As a captivating story teller and public speaker she has spoken to thousands of people , reminding them of the power of their humanity and their ability to use their lives to make a difference. Dr. Remen has a 40 year old personal history of Crohn's disease and went through several operations and her work is a unique blend of the viewpoint of a physician and a patient.
The wisdom in her book comes from many places, a loving old grandfather, from sick people and dying people, from doctors and nurses, from children and the people who sit next to you or the man who stand behind you in the grocery store. She has captured all the healing story from the people whom we encounter in our life every day.
As I read her book I felt the part of mine in every chapter. Each story is so personal and subjugating, as I read down the stories I kept learning the new and trusted ways of dealing with problems. A person has to be normal and open hearted to accept the life delightfully; Oh! yes no matter however your life is treating you, you be good to life.
KITCHEN TABLE WISDOM is a book that will touch you, change you and connect you more deeply to life. If you want to laugh, to cry, to look at yourself and others in new ways and in the end to discover that your life is far richer than you knew and you are a better person that you ever dreamed, must read one of the Dr. Remen's script. With the elegance of simplicity she shows how physicians can become healers by no longer remaining mere technicians but by becoming alchemists of the soul. KITCHEN TABLE WISDOM will give anyone an intimate insight into what genuine healing is all about.
I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to explore the better quality of life for themselves and for the surrounding ones.
