Synopsis
Inspirational and moving, KITCHEN TABLE WISDOM is a thought-provoking collection of stories and personal anecdotes. Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen wants her readers to appreciate the healing life force they all possess and to look at life as the gift it is. Dr. Remen conveys her wonder of life's mysteries in a profound way that never lowers itself to mawkishness and steers clear of obvious clichés that mar some inspirational titles. Remen's sincerity developed from her experiences as a doctor and from her own long-term battle with Crohn's Disease. Dealing with a difficult-to-treat chronic illness taught her to direct her energy and spirit toward healing from within and not to rely solely on science for a cure. Remen's spirituality plays an important part in her life and healing. She speaks eloquently of her grandfather, a rabbi, who instilled in her the spiritual foundation that comes through in her writing. KITCHEN TABLE WISDOM isn't only about dealing with illness, but about dealing with life: the suffering, the love, and most importantly, the survival.

Industry Reviews
"Rachel Naomi Remen is nature's gift to us, a genius of that elusive and crucial capacity, the human heart. She has much to teach us about healing, loving and living."
Publisher's Catalog - Daniel Goleman
"Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen is a pioneer in the medicine of the future. With the elegance of simplicity, she shows how physicians can become healers by no longer remaining mere technicians of the human body, but by becoming alchemists of the soul. I recommend this book highly to everyone."
Publisher's Catalog - Deepak Chopra
"Profound truths related in deceptively simple guises....Stories infused with examples of the kind of dignity and kindness that inspires faith in humanity."
Rendell
"[These stories] have a lot to teach us about integrity, pain, human freedom, and how emotions can change with sickness....[Remen] emphasizes that everybody has a story, and these stories connect us to the larger human story, weaving us together as a family."
