Story of a Surgeon's Hands and Heart
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Dr. Palavali tells stories of real life medical dramas. These dramatic and touching stories convey the book's theme which is to be mindful of cherishing all that life offers us in the present, as "human life" can be gone in an instant. Compelling and sensitive reading.
Good philosophical reflections, nice easy read, good feeling book.

Written by Vivekanand Palavali, MD, A Mindful Life: A Brain Surgeon's Personal Experiences and Philosophical Reflections on Living Life Fully is a profound memoir written by a medical expert who deals with the realities of life and death every day. True stories of the author's tending to victims of brain tumors, accidents, gunshots, and strokes mesh seamlessly with his insights into the fragility of life, the nature of happiness, and the importance of appreciating each moment. Highly recommended.
Reminder
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Often people forget about how short life is and how unpredictable the future is. Living today is a precious reminder that everybody needs once in a while. Just stop, looka round, breath, observe and enjoy the moment. Sincere and passionate book about simple truths of life. It took me 1 evening to finish it. Loved it.
Inspiration. Enlightening.

This is a book well written by a neurosurgeon who is directly involved with life and death almost every day. I could not put this book down till I finished reading. Even though most of the people are aware of the fact that death is inevitable, they have to be reminded often so as to take full advantage of life. This book opened a new perspective to life and living and enlightened me to not to take life for granted. Some of the true stories that are mentioned are heart breaking and add a realistic view of how life can change any moment. I would recommend this book to all my friends and family.
