On LIFE
Description
Each of us, from time to time, gets stuck. We get stuck on life issues and challenges that may seem trivial but are so hard to navigate and move beyond. Take simple moments like tying to find the right word to express one's thoughts, choosing when to say enough to a person or situation, trying to stay buoyed in inclement weather, or even getting up the energy to travel. What about more dramatic challenges like deciding to start something new or reflecting on whether you have been successful in life. These and many more confront us daily. In On LIFE: Thoughts on Life's Challenges, Dr. Harvey J. White brings personal experience and 30 years as a cardiologist to each of us in an essay to read book which addresses these and other challenges. Moreover, he encourages us to reach beyond the solutions he poses and craft our own. For that the engaged reader will be well rewarded.
