 Wisdom of Life Through My Patients February 9, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book is a good read for busy times. You can pick up the book for short periods of time to enjoy and reflect. The stories were from everyday people with extrodinary insight into the people in their lives. Most of us have these individuals in our lives and need to "see" them as they have impacted our lives. The book offers the opportunity to do just that. I found Dr.Waldinger's enjoyment of people refreshing. I particularily enjoyed his poems, and read them a number of times. He gave words to the feelings I have for people in my life.

In sharing the touching and soul searching stories of his patients, Dr. Waldinger reveals his own compassion and that of his mentor and friend Dr. Ulrich. Dr. Waldinger's book also provides a taste of life in this midwestern region enriched by its diverse population. Readers will be heartened by the genuine regard that Dr. Waldinger has for his patients. This is an inspirational book you'll want to share.

I really can't say enough. It makes you realize that sometimes we put too much emphasis on "silly" trivial things of today. We could all be a little wiser if we simply slowed down long enough to listen to the stories of old that our friends and neighbors tell us.
The Strength of the Human Spirit December 4, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you liked the book Tuesdays with Morrie, you will love The Wisdom of Life Through My Patients by Thomas P. Waldinger. This uplifting reflection documents the strength, determination and enlightenment learned by Waldinger's patients through a variety of challenging life experiences. The individual vignettes, presented in an easy to read chapter style format, are heartwarming and sensitive. They give the reader a glimpse of the inner strength of the human spirit and what odds we often overcome through that fortitude. The stories also demonstrate how sometimes even the smallest event can impact our lives and philosophies and add dimension to our perspective. This is a book you will want to read over and over again, for each new reading inspires and warms the heart.
