| Abstract | A Buddhist teacher，software entrepreneur，and author of the best-selling work as a spiritual practice，Richmond here writes about his near-fatal but with viral encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and subsequent lengthy recuperation. Inspired by the biblical character Lazarus, who died and was brought back to life，the book is divided into chapters dedicated to aspects of the healing process (e.g.，fear and gratitude). Richmond is most compelling when detailing his struggles with the mental and emotional effects of the disease，such as distorted perception，hypersensitivity，and confusion. His story's strength lies in the depiction of the arduousness and pain of recovery; the Buddhist elements of the book feel like an overlay and are not explored in depth. Richmond seems to have been especially fortunate in his medical care because he does not include a single unpleasant encounter with a medical institution or caregiver something often depicted in other healing memoirs. |
