Reading this book is a treat to the mind. It keeps me looking forward to the next childhood memory, the next episode of an humane and ingenious way of diagnosing and solving the problem of the child put in front of the author, the next scene in his travels, the next reflection in life…
A highly entertaining book that's worth every second of your time!

Not the ordinary memoir
Reviewed in the United Kingdom π¬π§ on January 17, 2023
Verified Purchase Am Ang Zhang has brilliantly woven together nostalgia, discoveries, astute observations and intelligent opinions. The fascinating title of the book is a deliberate understatement of his abundant life, where being a senior consultant psychiatrist is only a part of it . He is obviously a man of gifted intellect and refined tastes who, rather than hampered by material scarcity as a young child refugee, was fascinated by beauty in nature, and quickly acquired an appreciation of the finer things in life, enriched by travels and sustained by a keen engaging mind.
Reading his memoir is eye opening, and at times therapeutic. It was like meeting up with a learned old friend, as you sit with him and listen while his memories and ideas overflow. You travel with him as his stories move from continent to continent, from detailed episodes to gentle remarks, from freshly harvested catches to gourmet preparations, from ancient finds to modern scientific research ......
A most delightful read.
