No cure for being human : (and other truths I need to hear) / by Bowler, Kate,author.;
Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices, only to find that she was stuck in a cancerous body at age 35. In 'No Cure for Being Human', Kate searches for a way forward as she mines the wisdom (and absurdity) of our modern best life now advice industry, which tries to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn and out-perform our humanness. With dry wit and unflinching honesty, she grapples with her diagnosis, her ambition, and her faith and searches for some kind of peace with her limitations in a culture that says that anything is possible.
