What others say about this book:
“This is a gentle book from a gentle soul. It offers a helping hand to those [of us] who are in pain, but it does so respectfully. We don’t need to decide immediately whether we will take it. What we need to decide is whether we are ready to sit down and have a conversation with someone who cares.”

“Dr. Mecozzi artfully suggests that genuine healing is not synonymous with finding a cure—and may very well interfere with it. Using stories and experiential exercises, the author invites us to use our own life experiences as the final arbiter for decisions about our stance toward pain. He asks whether we will fight it or be open to the essential role it plays in our ability to approach life humbly, gratefully and creatively in our pursuit of meaning.”

“This book is a must-read for those in pain and for those wanting to help others in their suffering. The chapter on ‘The Stories Within the Pain’ is worth the read all by itself.”
