 "Kitchen Table Wisdom" is a very comfortable title but hardly touches the depth of effect this book has had on me! January 6, 2009

I heard Dr. Remen interviewed on NPR and knew I had to purchase the book. Her manner was so calm and full of wisdom. Although the book deals with life threatening illnesses and end of life issues for the patient and how medical caregivers respond, it was very healing to me
as a widow whose husband died of cancer. It was so gratifying to hear
how Dr. Remen, as a patient and a medical professional, has affected the process by which people in the medical field have returned to a more caring expression when dealing with patients.
Our family found that the caregivers, from volunteers, CNAs, Hemotology, Imaging & Respitory therapists, transportation people, Nurses to Doctors on the oncology ward of Welmont Holston Valley Hospital in Kingsport were all so caring to my husband and everyone of us!
Thank you, Dr. Remen for your work and this book. It is one I will keep in my library for rereading and recommend to many people. Good grief is hard work and your work is a great resource!

I really enjoyed reading this book and was impressed with the positive attitude and hopeful outlook under very difficult circumstances.

Kitchen Table Wisdom 10th Anniversary
I ordered 2 "New" Kitchen Table Wisdom books to be given as gifts. The cover of one of them was crooked and did not cover the first page. The book was simply not made right. I was not allowed to exchange it for another, just send it back and charged a bit to do that.
It turned out all right because I found out another way (not Amazon) to get books at discount and got the 2nd one right away.
Kitchen Table Wisdom by Rachel Naomi Remen July 14, 2008
Although the title sounds simplistic, the contents of this book are
profound. It is a book of inspirational true stories, written by a most perceptive physician/counselor about the wisdom she has gleaned about life and death through her experiences with patients. Each chapter is a new story, and they open windows in our minds and hearts. One of the finest books I have read in years.

This is one of the most incrediblely healing books you will ever read. You will find yourself refering to it and giving it to friends (like I did) because it is so theraputic. A must read if you are a self-aware person.
