Harry's Homilies: Prescriptions for a Better Life

Harry's Homilies-Prescriptions for a Better Life is a book of wise sayings, wise cracks, and personal philosophy. The author, Harry L. S. Knopf, M. D. has spent the last 6 years publishing a column, which presented this material in monthly segments. Each page contains a pithy statement followed by a paragraph or two of explanation. The author hopes to convey a positive outlook on life, especially that of the physician. Although the contents address problems that may be more appreciated by fellow doctors e.g. patient care, surgical complications, aging, blindness, the underlying messages are applicable to many other professions and life situations: living, loving, marriage, tragedy, happiness, and generosity, to name a few. The book is purposely small enough to carry with you. Dr. Knopf hopes that, no matter where you are you can take moment, open it to any page; read it, and gain some small insight from the message.
