Luckily enough, I was introduced to this amazing man. A year later when he was in San Francisco for a large speaking engagement on Migraines, I met him again. This time we had lunch in his private suite and never have I ever been so thrilled and felt so welcome. He was a gentle person with an ability to speak to anyone on any subject. I was so lucky.Just before his sad passing, I read his autobiography, “On The Move”. It truly portrayed his gentle, worldly, yet sophisticated self. I learned more about him then and was more intrigued and fascinated by his writings. “Gratitude” is a short read, but a succinct and gratifying one. Each of the four essays is carefully written with the Dr. Sacks earnest and honest soul baring itself with such honest emotion, it’s wonderful and satisfying to read. I’ve read it many times now and always marvel at his ability to easily convey his emotions and feelings. It’s a true gift and a gentle reminder to the reader that gratitude is very important and a great attribute to put things in perspective. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful Essays *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2023* This is a collection of essays at the end of Oliver Sack's life. The essays are well-written, thought-provoking and meaningful. Oliver Sacks left much to us in his life's work, as well as his musings on life itself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely farewell from a lovely man *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2016* I usually love Oliver Sacks' books, most dealing with his adventures as a neurologist. My favorite remains, "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." That volume includes a personal recollection by Sacks himself, dealing with when he woke in hospital and tried to throw the seeming foreign leg out of his bed, only to learn that it was his own! He was a masterful real-life story-teller.For some reason I just can't put my finger on, I found this final reflection to be a bit lacking. Certainly what the other reviewers have said in praise of it are true, but it still left me feeling something was missing. In reflecting, what I found was missing was that in the midst of his four essays, all remembrances of things past, he really does not emphasize his gratitude. It is more like he was saying, "Well, this happened and it changed my life." But as an existential-phenomenologist, I guess I was looking more for what Sacks meant by "gratitude." He never really does say.Still, it is a lovely farewell from a very interesting and gifted man, for whose life and contributions I am grateful. Good, quick read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/20565267-gratitude](https://www.desertcart.at/products/20565267-gratitude) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
