The Sky Is Not the Limit

Robert Fisch, a physician, artist and writer, has amassed (and invented) a collection of observations on the meaning of life and death and everything in between.   "The Sky is Not the Limit" presents the accumulated wisdom of a life lived under extraordinary circumstances with great purpose, courage and achievement.  The principles developed along the way are presented here in the form of aphorisms that readers can apply to daily living, accompanied by crisp works of art.  Among the concepts Dr. Fisch advances are how suffering and hardship can lead to gratitude and appreciation.  He stresses the importance of retaining our humanity on occasions when vengeance and hatred might seem to be the ''natural'' response. Dr. Fisch also emphasizes the importance of enjoying life fully through art, music, and play. Veins of humor run through even his most dire reflections on life and death, and the book also contains chapters on aging, love, marriage and family, and the emotions.
