About this product

Product Information

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? "Kate Bowler is the only one we can trust to tell us the truth."--Glennon Doyle, author of the # 1 New York Times bestseller Untamed It's hard to give up on the feeling that the life you really want is just out of reach. A beach body by summer. A trip to Disneyland around the corner. A promotion on the horizon. Everyone wants to believe that they are headed toward good, better, best. But what happens when the life you hoped for is put on hold indefinitely? Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices, until she discovered, at age 35, that her body was wracked with cancer. In No Cure for Being Human , she searches for a way forward as she mines the wisdom (and absurdity) of today's "best life now" advice industry, which insists on exhausting positivity and on trying to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn, and out-perform our humanness. We are, she finds, as fragile as the day we were born. With dry wit and unflinching honesty, Kate Bowler grapples with her diagnosis, her ambition, and her faith as she tries to come to terms with her limitations in a culture that says anything is possible. She finds that we need one another if we're going to tell the truth: Life is beautiful and terrible, full of hope and despair and everything in between--and there's no cure for being human.

Reviews
"Kate Bowler refuses to jump on the bandwagon of toxic positivity. Instead, she leads us to a truer truth: The work is unfinishable, and so be it. I find my interactions with the mind of Kate Bowler more useful and comforting than most all others combined." --Kelly Corrigan, author of Tell Me More , host of the podcast Kelly Corrigan Wonders and PBS's Tell Me More "With hilarity and courage, Bowler tells her story of being diagnosed with stage-four cancer at age thirty-five, which forced her to re-examine the way she (and we) live our lives. This is a brilliant examination of what happens when everything you assumed is suddenly in question, and you have to substitute love for self-actualization and hope for certainty." --Lori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone "I couldn't put this brilliant memoir down (and I underlined many passages.) Kate Bowler is the rare author who can explore difficult subjects with both breathtaking honesty and light-heartedness: Faith, mortality, vocation, parenthood, the World's Largest Ball of String . . . Her work brings profound insight and love to the human experience." --Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project and Outer Order, Inner Calm "Kate Bowler has paid through the nose with terrifying realities to become a writer of uncommon spiritual wisdom, coupled with an amazing sense of humor and a heart full of love. She fills me with hope." --Anne Lamott, author of Dusk, Night, Dawn "Those in need of a wake-up call will find it in this breathtaking narrative. Bowler's strong faith is present throughout, though the writing, refreshingly, never feels overtly religious. Her convictions underscore the importance of living life on one's own terms." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
