In 'No Cure for Being Human', Kate Bowler confronts the stark reality of facing a life that veers wildly from the one she had anticipated. At thirty-five, a shocking cancer diagnosis becomes the lens through which she examines the brittle promises of the 'best life now' culture. With candor and wit, Bowler challenges the relentless positivity preached by this modern dogma, shedding light on our collective denial of our innate vulnerability. As she grapples with her own ambitions and faith amidst her health crisis, Bowler proposes a richer, more honest pact in recognizing the full spectrum of our existence: it is both precious and precarious, a tapestry woven with threads of joy and sorrow.
