***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 reach. A 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 humanness. With 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.
