Sounds beautiful! I'm sure this book will light the way for those who need it and support them on their journey.

Really appreciate the point about healing being non-linear and earned through attention rather than certainty. Most wellness content skips over that messy part where you have to sit with discomfort without any garantee it leads somewhere good. I tried a silent retreat once expecting clarity and mostly just got bored and frustrated, but weirdly that ended up being the whole point.

I’ll read this when I can muster up the courage.

As a retired hospital pharmacist, what I noticed was the rush to give sedatives to a man who they didn't understand.

I noticed a lot of this in our society; it has been going on for a long time.

Anti-psychotics and anti-depressants to control adults. ADHD meds for children who may just need to go outside and play. All kinds of meds to treat "diseases" that are not really diseases.

This is all to make money for the drug companies and the politicians and bureaucrats that they pay off.

And this is why I don't read fiction. Reality is stranger than fiction and for someone to make all this up is just a waste of time not to mention whose mind even goes to these dark places?
