"I recommend this book highly to everyone." --Deepak Chopra, M.D. This special updated version of the New York Times-bestseller, Kitchen Table Wisdom, addresses the same spiritual issues that made the original a bestseller: suffering, meaning, love, faith, and miracles. "Despite the awesome powers of technology, many of us still do not live very well," says Dr. Rachel Remen. "We may need to listen to one another's stories again." Dr. Remen, whose unique perspective on healing comes from her background as a physician, a professor of medicine, a therapist, and a long-term survivor of chronic illness, invites us to listen from the soul. This remarkable collection of true stories draws on the concept of "kitchen table wisdom"-- the human tradition of shared experience that 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.

For years, I've been wanting to put together a book on self-narrative therapy. That's what this book is: stories that almost no one has ever heard before. They're not from celebrities, but from normal, every-day people, including me. We are sharing the stories of our lives in the hope that it will help you heal. I believe it will.Please read and enjoy. Saturate. Don't try to make anything happen, just get out of the way and allow these stories to do their work in you.

Heartwarming and Heart-Opening Stories Gathered from Decades of Medical Practice Bernie Siegel first wrote about miracles when he was a practicing surgeon and founded Exceptional Cancer Patients, a groundbreaking synthesis of group, individual, dream, and art therapy that provided patients with a “carefrontation.” Compiled during his more than thirty years of practice, speaking, and teaching, the stories in these pages are riveting, warm, and belief expanding. Their subjects include a girl whose baby brother helped her overcome anorexia, a woman whose cancer helped her heal by teaching her to stand up for herself, and a family that was saved from a burning house by bats. Without diminishing the reality of pain and hardship, the stories show real people turning crisis into blessing by responding to adversity in ways that empower and heal. They demonstrate what we are capable of and show us that we can achieve miracles as we confront life’s difficulties.

"This book is a treasure which needs to be read by everyone so that they understand our potential and self empowerment abilities when confronting illness and the health care system. Healing and survival are due not to miracles or spontaneous remissions but to self induced healing. When patients do well they always have a story to tell about their lifestyle changes and their body's response to a new life filled with love and joy. In the future we will be studying the healing energy potential in each of us as our minds open and we accept experience as our teacher and medical professionals stop refusing to accept what they cannot explain. Wounds heal and diseases are overcome by the wisdom of our bodies. Doctors need to teach patients how to exceed expectations; this book makes it clear what is possible when we assume responsibility and participate in our care and stop being submissive, suffering patients."
