Grace and Grit: Spirituality and Healing in the Life and Death of Treya Killam Wilber
About This Book
Perhaps Wilber's most personally revealing book — a memoir of his five-year journey alongside his wife Treya through her battle with breast cancer. Alternating between his philosophical reflections on the relationship between spirit and medicine, and her journals of the lived experience of illness, this book is a profound meditation on love, suffering, masculine and feminine approaches to spirituality, and the question of what it means to die well.
What You'll Learn
The masculine and feminine spiritual paths are not opposed but complementary — the masculine seeks transcendence while the feminine seeks radical acceptance and immanence; wholeness requires both. Suffering, approached with awareness and openness, can become the deepest form of spiritual practice. Death is not the ultimate problem to be solved — how we meet death reveals everything about how we have lived.
