From the New York Times bestselling author comes the wisdom to heal ourselves and those around us.
With Kitchen Table Wisdom, Dr. Remen established herself as an important new voice bringing hope and healing to a difficult world. Her book spent more than three months on the New York Times bestseller list, and maintained even longer runs on the Boston, San Francisco, and Denver lists.
Now she has written My Grandfather's Blessings, a work that further examines the human heart and celebrates those who serve life so beautifully, so effortlessly, so selflessly often without knowing.
It was Rachel Remen's grandfather, a kabbalistic rabbi, who gave her the eyes to see that service is what heals the isolation and loneliness in us all. Service happens every day in ways we don't notice: we serve each other; life serves us; and it is discovering the place of service in ourselves that leads at last to wisdom. As Remen says, "Every life serves a purpose which is both simple and profound. We are here to grow in wisdom and to learn to love better. What this says is that there are many life paths but all life has a spiritual agenda. And all people are on a spiritual path." These stories give us a profound sense of strength that is achieved by knowing that we belong to each other, and to life itself.
"Rachel Naomi Remen is nature's gift to us, a genius of that elusive and crucial capacity, the human heart. She has much to teach us about healing, loving, and living."--Daniel Goleman

What Customers Say About My Grandfather's Blessings: Stories of Strength, Refuge, and Belonging:

|
Though I have never had significant physical illness, I have learned to be more gentle with my soul and to heal psycological hurts that have plagued me since childhood. I don't know what I will do when I finish this book, I will miss her gentle story telling and thoughful touching lessons. Many of the stories relate to those suffering from physical illness. I wss given Rachel's book Kitchen Table Wisdom for Christmas. I cannot say enough about this book. When I finished the book, I purchased My Grandfather's Blessings and have continued to deeply enjoy the book. Each morning I read one of the short stories; each a touching, thoughtful gift. I feel a sense of healing and deeper appreciation for life, for myself and for others.
A wonderful book and a thoughtful gift. This book is a beautiful reminder to look at our lives both wholistically and in the moment. It's such a comfort - I've read it all the way through, and now it sits on my nightstand and I page through it at random when I need some extra perspective on things.
Each chapter is worth savoring. Real life wisdom for living life in balance and with heart.Rachel tells her stories openly, with compassion and great warmth.I have given this book to friends and family and carry its lessons in my own life. A lovely read, not at all preachy.
There are important life lessons for us all. Whether you read this from cover to cover, because it is delightful and insightful, or take it story at a time over a period of time, it is a wonderful book. Some will make you laugh, others cry, and others to say, "Oh wow." The author shares some inspirational stories of the lessons her grandfather, a Rabbi taught her as a child that served as building blocks for the rest of her life, as a Dr. and then a counselor.
It is so full of wisdom.rich, rich, rich. This is one of the best inspirational books I've read in a long time. I love it so much I'm buying it for friends.
