Mind Body & Soul Book Review: The Healing Power of Storytelling - Using Personal Narrative to Navigate Illness, Trauma, and Loss. By Annie Brewster MD with Rachel Zimmerman. Published by North Atlantic Books. RRP US $17.95 : Can $ 23.95
This is a wonderful book, written with deep personal honesty and inner beauty. It a real life story of a caring doctor who faces great challenges, and who takes the reader on an amazing journey towards greater self knowledge and compassion. The book is written by one who understands what life is truly about. You have your own story, as enlightening and astounding as those described here and you are encouraged to tell your story too through the method Dr Brewster describes. Who would benefit from this book? Health professionals, religious, academic, counsellors, all those facing difficulties or who know of those who are. It’s a very moving book, challenging at times, but readers will be wiser and more matured by the experience.
The author started Health Story Collaborative for sharing stories. Recommended. Reviewer Wendy Stokes https://wendystokes.co.uk
