À propos de cet audio
New York Times Best Seller
The best-selling 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 number one New York Times best seller 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.

Kate Bowler is a professor at Duke Divinity School with a modest Christian upbringing, but she specializes in the study of the prosperity gospel, a creed that sees fortune as a blessing from God and misfortune as a mark of God's disapproval. At 35, everything in her life seems to point toward "blessing". She is thriving in her job, married to her high school sweetheart, and loves life with her newborn son. Then she is diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“I began reading No Cure for Being Human after dinner one evening and didn’t move until I finished the last gorgeous page. As I finally put this masterpiece down, I thought Kate Bowler is the only one we can trust to tell us the truth. Bowler is a prophet and her new offering is another true gift to the world. This book will open minds and warm hearts.”—Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed
“With grace, wisdom, and humor, Kate Bowler encourages us to cut back on self-help Kool-Aid and teaches us what it means to be human.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
“Bowler offers an alternative to the good vibes/prosperity gospel approach: honesty with room for mystery and humor.”—The New York Times

I didn’t want it to end
This book invited us into such a personal journey. I related to it as a person and also as a healthcare professional. I so appreciated Kate’s stories, her ability to draw the picture so fully I felt like I was experiencing it with her at times.
I will likely listen to this again as I wasn’t quite ready for it to be done.

Captivating!
The way Kate reads her book to the listener is both enthralling and enchanting. Her scholarly mind and tender heart comes across in a eloquent way as she shares part of her life story. At times, I laughed out loud while other times I wept. Listening to this book was a great way to spend a Saturday. Thanks for sharing both your intellect and heart with us Kate!

Healing and Challenging
Kate Bowler’s willingness to share her most challenging and vulnerable season was a balm to my weary soul in this uncertain season. She cracks open her heart and what pours out is raw and honest faith big enough to embrace pain and suffering. Her theological maturity is evident in the moments she deconstructs a health and wealth gospel without leaving us empty handed. A particular gift to anyone examining their own mortality.

a keeper
I loved this book. My son is a few months into his recovery of his own cancer treatments and as I read this it helped me process so much of what we experienced. The commonality of the cancer patient and caretaker world is expressed beautifully in these pages. Thank you Ms. Bowler. I hope to meet you one day. xo

Not what I thought it would be
I don’t like books that sneak in religious beliefs in general. Therefore I was disappointed from the beginning. It is presented like a memoir. Oddly, I did not feel like it was written with much emotion or humanity. I was expecting more because of the title. All in all there were a couple of passages I enjoyed but sadly I did not learn anything new after listening to this book.
