Close to the Bone: Life-Threatening Illness as a Soul Journey by Jean Shinoda Bolen

Face Illness and Find Hope

Everyone faces illness. Whether it’s a personal health crisis or sickness a loved one is experiencing, none of us escape this life without encountering some form of illness or death. While we can try to ignore the reality, author and speaker Dr Jean Shinoda Bolen suggests we do the exact opposite: face it. By encountering the frightening world of serious illness and death, we can better uncover how it gives us purpose.

Trust what you know in your bones. In probing and studying the health trials we face, Dr Bolen shares how what we learn often connects to what we know to be true. As a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst, Dr Bolen has an acute understanding of what shapes a person, particularly as it relates to one’s sense of balance and wholeness. Based on her knowledge and experience, she guides readers to find the truth buried in their own bones.
