The perfect summer read. Nothing at all like Eat, Pray, Love. I never read out from a book, but THIS one I made my husband listen to a paragraph! Thank you Elizabeth Gilbert for such a fun read.

“optimistic, science-worshipping culture wants to medicalize aging and make it nothing more than a collection of specific diseases that medicine can prevent or fix, one item at a time. But no matter what deal we make with the devil, nature outwits us. Dying can be postponed, but aging cannot be cured.”
― Katy Butler, Knocking on Heaven's Door: The Path to a Better Way of Death

“Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed, and rare.”
