Summary: Filled with Gems of Wisdom
Review: Carl's book is filled with great bits of wisdom and interesting stories, at least one of which I hope to use in the upcoming book, "Chicken Soup for the Volunteer's Soul." It's very inspirational and interesting reading.

Summary: Connects Nat. Am. healing concepts with western medicine
Review: I have given this book and Hammerschlag's other great work, "The Dancing Healers," as a set to my sons for college graduation. They hope their college experinces will help them make a living. I know these books will help them live. Dr. Hammerschlag provides us the rationale found in Western medicine that explains why the art of healing has flourished, isolated from mainstream society, in the hogans and pueblos of the American Southwest. Through these reminiscences of healing, the reader also gains a sobering insight into the consequesnces, physical and psychological, suffered by those of us whose lives are devoid of spiritual vitality. Hammerschlag certainly provides valuable information but his gift to us in these volumes is wisdom. I have enjoyed many books but few have effected my life as these have. Should you ever meet him, thank him for myself and my sons

Summary: Well worth the price of admission...
Review: It the spirit of his other book, "Dancing Healers," Dr. Hammerschlag puts together a collection of stories of healing. His insightful approach to using ritual along with "Western Medicine," helps us explore ourselves, our lives and our place in the world. This book should be on every bookshelf in every home. The renewed sense of spirituality and hope the reader obtains through reading this cannot be measured. Truly inspirational reading. Dr. H is a master storyteller.
