Read about fascinating clinical cases; uncover powerful lessons in compassion, mindfulness, and what really matters in the end; explore themes in Eastern philosophy—the inevitability of death, the meaning of life, and the nature of human suffering.

A sensitive, visceral work of healing, at once an exposé on the politics and limits of healthcare, an exploration of medical ethics, a meditation on acceptance, a documentary on introversion, a philosophical journey, a confession and a love letter.
