Short description
An intensely moving and beautifully written call for a radical alteration in the relationship between health care professionals and patients--one that seeks healing through a mindful recognition of the universality of pain and suffering.
Review
Rarely does a book speak so eloquently to those of us who struggle with illness in our own lives, as well as to those who join with us in the project of healing. In sharing his involvement in the lives of patients and his own personal journey of mindfulness, Saki Santorelli gives us startling insights into what it means to heal and be healed. This book is a gift that will change your life.

Saki evokes for us the mutuality of the healing relationship and reclaims for medicine and all who work within it the wisdom and power of its lineage.
