No Cure for Being Human (häftad, eng)

***A SUNDAY TIMES AND INDEPENDENT BOOK OF THE YEAR AND INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER***

The bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I''ve Loved) asks, how do you move forward with a life you didn''t choose?

Hailed by Glennon Doyle as ''the Christian Joan Didion'', Kate Bowler used to accept the modern idea that life is an endless horizon of possibilities, a series of choices which if made correctly, would lead us to a place just out of our reachA beach body by summer. A trip to Disneyland around the corner. A promotion on the horizon. But then at thirty-five she was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, and now she has to ask one of the most fundamental questions of all: How do we create meaning in our lives when the life we hoped for is put on hold indefinitely?

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 offers us exhausting positivity, trying to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn and out-perform our humannessWith dry wit and unflinching honesty she grapples with her cancer 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.

Frank and funny, dark and wise, Kate''s irreverent, hard-won observations in No Cure For Being Human chart a bold path towards learning new ways to live.
