A beautiful and uplifting short story collection featuring thirteen unique journeys of self-discovery and healing.
The Healing Book is a collection of short stories about characters searching for meaning as they navigate the complexities and absurdities of modern life.
In Beyond Medicine, a neurosurgeon travels to Peru hoping an ayahuasca healing ceremony will cure her depression. In The Good Parent, a young woman rejects her overprotective mother's style of parenting and tries a new philosophy: free-range parenting. In Going Through the Motions, a middle-aged man searches for ways to manage his rebellion against the self-help industry and the conventional values of society.
A theoretical physicist in Searching for Meaning in the Stars writes a memoir about overcoming an existential crisis. A student filmmaker in Cubicle discovers loneliness, absurdity, and cruelty in the halls of Corporate America-but also finds his artistic voice. In A Case of Aphantasia, a man's aphantasia (lack of a mind's eye) is cured in therapy using a new digital technology, but then he's pulled into a virtual reality from which he is powerless to leave. In Trail Magic, a burned-out knowledge worker struggling with depression and identity issues finds her way to contentment and freedom through therapy and the Appalachian Trail. And in the title story, The Healing Book, a physician attempts to cure his wife from terminal cancer by writing a book capable of healing her body.
The Healing Book is a thought-provoking collection by a soulful New England writer with a deep background in science and medicine. In this inspiring book, follow characters who are on journeys of psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing. Each unique story of transformation imparts wisdom, psychological insight, and personal growth.
