Praised by everyone from Bernie Siegel to Daniel Goleman to Larry Dossey, Rachel Remen has a unique perspective on healing rooted in her background as a physician, a professor of medicine, a therapist, and a long-term survivor of chronic illness. In a deeply moving and down-to-earth collection of true stories, this prominent physician shows us life in all its power and mystery and reminds us that the things we cannot measure may be the things that ultimately sustain and enrich our lives.
Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., is a pioneer in training physicians in relationship-centered care and has been in the private practice of psycho-oncology for the past 20 years. A former faculty member at the Stanford School of Medicine, she is also co-founder and medical director of the Commonweal Cancer Help Program in Bolinas, California. She is currently clinical professor of family and community medicine at the University of California at San Francisco.
I recommend this book highly to everyone. (Deepak Chopra, M.D.) This is a beautiful book about life, the only true teacher. (Bernie Siegel, M.D.) Rachel Naomi Remen is nature's gift to us, a genius of that elusive and crucial capacity, the human heart. (Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., author of Emotional Intelligence)
