Heather's Book Review

A YOUnity Reviewers Guild Award Recipient 2005
The mystic and beautiful scenery of the Missouri Botanical Gardens taken by the multi-talented author and ophthalmologist, Dr. Harry L.S. Knopf, powerfully and breathtakingly graces a soul-satisfying book with an up-close lens on the journey of a compassionate doctor who loves his job of over 25 years, and has written homilies to remind his real life patients, now including readers, that if all could see the world as doctors do, they would be able to adopt good-hearted remedies for everyday survival, self sustenance, and longevity in spirit, heart and mind as prescribed in Harry's Homilies: Prescriptions For A Better Life. Doctors and Medical Students will adore Harry's book which it seems to address. However, aren't everyday people like doctors of the world? Readers get to take a sneak peek inside the mind of a Harvard Grad School doctor often misdiagnosed as the elite, but wait, this doctor cares about you. His message of love and peace with oneself is a blessing for all readers and the book is not only a perfect prescription for a better life, but would make a great gift. The first edition of the book is published by Author House, but I could envision a big house publisher taking this book to the next level with a Harry Ophthalmologist Doll and carry- all briefcase version of the book to help medical students, doctors and readers cope with a few of his aphorisms made available by back-push in audio dial, and of course a finale," This is Dr. Harry, you've just prescribed to a better way of life!" FAO Schwartz Toy Store in New York would never have to worry about closing. It takes a caring one to treat another with patience and understanding when experiencing signs of aging, regret, and failing health problems. A perfect example is when record and box office sales decrease when celebrities age. Dr. Harry L.S. Knoph redefines accepting oneself and having pride and common sense along with his remedies such as his realistic version of, "A Recipe For Happiness." The dynamic, naturalistic and self therapeutic book of aphorisms is fun, witty, clever and humorous; just a few descriptions of Harry's ideal prescriptions on hectic real life scenarios that will leave readers craving for more. Harry has begun a new trend in self- help literary homilies that may be more powerful than essays in Chicken Soup For The Soul, and Dianetics for those too busy to acknowledge other people's lessons and theories which allows readers to acknowledge that life is about enjoying it to the fullest despite the everyday hustle and bustle. After reading Harry's refreshing and simplistic book, I found myself escaping into my own scenic background getaways at The Botanical Gardens here in New York, and taking along one of the best reads of the year. I would recommend Harry's Homilies: Prescriptions For A Better Life as the perfect prescription for busy folks. I just adore this soul, and if he already has a wide angle lens on a better prescription for life, you can bet this is a book for all to focus on. Brilliant, smart, and necessary. As in the words of the author, " Knowledge and Experience are the parents of wisdom!"
