"We all know, intellectually, that our time on earth is limited. What would we change if we knew it viscerally? Kate Bowler was thirty-five when she was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Now that she's responded to immunotherapy Kate has to figure out how to make a new life between CT scans. Before she got sick, she'd accepted the very American idea that life was an endless horizon of possibilities. Now she has to figure out what to do within the limits of the time she has left. In No Cure for Being Human, Kate, hailed by Glennon Doyle as "the Christian Joan Didion," looks at the ways she has tried to wring meaning from her remaining time through anecdotes that range from the hilariously absurd--as when she attempts to rid the hospital gift shop of its copies of prosperity gospel guru Joel Osteen's Your Best Life Now to the seriously painful. Breaking down time into efficient segments--"gather round and watch how this woman can take a solitary moment and divide it into a million uses!"--trying to live in the moment, weighing the meaning of work, and learning to discover what "enough" feels like, Kate asks one of the most fundamental questions of all: How do we create meaning in our lives as we race against the clock?"--… (plus d'informations)

I requested this from the library because someone recommended it but I don't really do self-help books. If I were going to, this is the sort of self-help book I would read because the entire premise seems to be that self-help is nonsense and (spoiler!) there is no cure for being human. I mostly skim read it but it's fairly well-written and structured so I would absolutely recommend this to people determined to read this sort of thing. ( )

No Cure for Being Human is author Kate Bowler's true-life account of her confrontation with dying while in the prime of her life, and all the struggle, regret, and ultimately revelatory truths that come with it.

I recommend this one in conjunction with another book on the same broader topic of dying, A Beginner's Guide to the End: Practical Advice for Living Life and Facing Death. The latter is more of a how-to guide while No Cure for Being Human is a memoir. Which is to say it's more story-driven and more, well, human.

I'm not the Christian true believer Kate Bowler is, far from it, so how she and I think about dying comes from different starting points. But ultimately the fear and vulnerability she shares reminds me that we're not all that different. We're both biological beings who are on this Earth for a tiny fraction of its universal existence, and in that time we do our best to survive and thrive with the circumstances we've been given. ( )

A moving memoir where Kate Bowler talks about the unexpected stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis she received when she was 35. She speaks of fighting cancer, preparing to die, and transitioning to live again. Very good. ( )

This memoir didn’t resonate with me. Not sure what the message is. ( )
