Recovery: The Lost Art of Convalescence

This offers a gentle and expert guide to the secrets of recovery. It argues that recovery is not a passive process, but an active one that can transform lives if we learn its rhythms and invest our time, energy, and participation. Drawing on thirty years of medicine and insights from practitioners, psychologists, and writers, the author rejects the idea that healing is passive and offers tools and wisdom for convalescence.
