Gratitude by Oliver Sacks Book Summary

A deeply moving testimony and celebration of how to embrace life. No writer has succeeded in capturing the medical and human drama of illness as honestly and as eloquently as Oliver Sacks. During the last few months of his life, he wrote a set of essays in which he movingly explored his feelings about completing a life and coming to terms with his own death.

“A series of heart-rending yet ultimately uplifting essays….A lasting gift to readers." —The Washington Post

“It is the fate of every human being,” Sacks writes, “to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death.” Together, these four essays form an ode to the uniqueness of each human being and to gratitude for the gift of life.

“My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved. I have been given much and I have given something in return. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.”
—Oliver Sacks

“Oliver Sacks was like no other clinician, or writer. He was drawn to the homes of the sick, the institutions of the most frail and disabled, the company of the unusual and the ‘abnormal.’ He wanted to see humanity in its many variants and to do so in his own, almost anachronistic way—face to face, over time, away from our burgeoning apparatus of computers and algorithms. And, through his writing, he showed us what he saw.”
—Atul Gawande, author of Being Mortal

Lovely but..... A wonderful read, but be aware it's only 55 pages long and for $10 seems a bit pricey.

A very intelligent book. This one will make you think and may even make you cry. It will definitely make you feel connected to humanity.

The best pages on gratitude you'll ever read. Don't pay any attention to the misers who counted the pages and groused about the price. At ten times the cost, it's worth it. The only book about gratitude you'll ever need. And while you're at it, read everything else Oliver Sacks has written. You will not regret it.

Gratitude. As much as I have enjoyed this author in prior writings, no book is worth $ 9.99 at 96 pages. Period.
