Beschreibung
A profoundly eloquent and sensitive book about things that are common to us all. After serving as a surgeon in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969, Gordon Livingston returned to the USA and began working as a psychiatrist. He listened to the stories of his patients – about what works in life and what doesn’t, and about the myriad ways we can be unhappy, often due to our own actions. He also suffered great personal losses – within thirteen months, he lost two sons. The oldest committed suicide, and the youngest was killed by leukemia. From his lifelong experiences, Livingston distilled thirty fundamental truths about life, which are contained in this book. He elucidates them in finely woven and perfectly calibrated essays. The recurring theme is that we are what we do, and although we cannot escape who we are, we can face loss, happiness, and even grief and move beyond them.
