This is a very thoughtful and compassionate book designed for various situations. Part of the trouble with this book is that it's impossible to have a book that suits every person's needs and struggles, but I admire the author's attempt to honor different journeys and the additional content. I did wish there was more of a perspective from those suffering with chronic pain/the idea of disability justice rather than just "this treatment worked." I also found the idea of not focusing so much on future outcomes kind of incongruous with the constant repetition that patients' pain decreased after meditating, but overall this is a helpful resource and I'd recommend it to a friend as a resource to be used alongside more personal counseling :)

What a treat it is to read the work of someone who plays with words like this!!!

This book had a lot of potential to be, like, uber meaningful or whatever, but just ended up being the story of a life in many ways, which I appreciate and like reading. 

Will probably pick this up over break once I have an essay to fully work on :P

fascinating and well thought-out stuff

An important read, and one that has been vastly influential in the field of medievalist disability studies! I felt that parts of the text were redundant and/or rambling but this was a super enjoyable and enlightening book
