Tumult and Sympathy – The Letters of Oliver Sacks
- lbeckman314 1y agoAh I've only recently discovered Oliver Sacks and have just picked up his Letters and Gratitude [1, 2] from the local library! Marginalian also has a great exploration of his letters as well [3]: > I think “the meaning of life” is something we have to formulate for ourselves, we have to determine what has meaning for us… It clearly has to do with love — what and whom and how one can love.
