Recenzii
A lovely little book
Wonderful
Massively healing
Such a wise, gentle, quietly hopeful book. Exactly what I needed
Francis offers hope and a rare and precious quiet form of consolation
Heartfelt and persuasively argued ... Filled with compassion and warmth, the book provides both insight and succour
Excellent ... could not be more timely ... even if you are not at present ill, it is worth reading this book because the gentle guidance it gives is actually applicable to being healthy. There are things we can do that make life, even a life without pain or fatigue or anxiety, richer
Humane and thoughtful. Combining personal reminiscence, hard science and history, it explores the architecture of convalescence, rest, treatments and placebos, the healing power of nature and the transformative impact a sick note can have
Sparkling ... uplifting
A concise and deeply felt treatise on how, faced with inevitable illness and finitude, we might better live and how medicine might help others better life
The book really shines ... it is worth reading this book because the gentle guidance it gives is actually applicable to being healthy
Descriere
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: an uplifting account of hope and healing by GP Gavin Francis'I cannot think of anybody - patient or doctor - who will not be helped by reading this short and profound book' - Henry Marsh'Such a wise, gentle, quietly hopeful book. Exactly what I needed' - Rachel Clarke'A lovely little book' - Michael RosenWhen it comes to illness, sometimes the end is just the beginning. Recovery and convalescence are words that exist at the periphery of our lives - until we are forced to contend with what they really mean. Here, GP and writer Gavin Francis explores how - and why - we get better, revealing the many shapes recovery takes, its shifting history and the frequent failure of our modern lives to make adequate space for it. Characterised by Francis's beautiful prose and his view of medicine as 'the alliance of science and kindness', Recovery is a book about a journey that most of us never intend to make. Along the way, he unfolds a story of hope, transformation, and the everyday miracle of healing.
