Job's Body

This is about the fifth time I've picked up this book. I'll admit that the first couple times I flipped through and just looked at the pictures ;) Some pretty good illustrations, mind you. Especially the brain mapping picture on p. 135, the stretch reflex on p. 222, and the pituitary gland on p. 310, to name a few.

It's a more difficult read than some of my past books. It's more textbook-y. But there is some really juicy stuff in it nonetheless.

I read, and re-read this quote last night and have to share because I feel like it's an accurate description of how I navigate my career and life:
"Enduring faith is not blind or obedient, it is keenly attentive and responsible; it is not fed by awe, but by quickening interest; prosperity is not the disappearance of problems, but the continual engagement with the process of finding solutions. Wisdom is not given from on high, but must be painstakingly unravelled from the knots in his own guts."
