A Meaningful Life: Memoir of a Lady Therapist

“Something tangible was happening to me. There was a wonderful door of imagination opening wider and wider for me to see, hear, touch, smell and taste. I passed through pure, pearl, azure Pacific beauty to the other side of the infinite door of never-ending awe. The travel bug bit me and never let go.” - A Meaningful Life: Memoir of a Lady Therapist Dr. Jeanne Goen has lived a life of travel, conviction, fun and adventure. From flying a T-33 fighter plane in an evening gown to meeting a wild leopard in the plains of Kenya to knocking on Tennessee Williams’ door on a whim and getting herself invited to tea; from bushwhacking through the jungle for the Peace Corps to painting with Wolf Kahn in New England to golfing at St. Andrews in Scotland, Dr. Jeanne Goen has never let anything get in her way. A feminist before there was such a word she is living proof that determination, intelligence and imagination are the ingredients of a meaningful life. She has faced her fears, strengthened her faith and tirelessly helped 100’s of patients. Her reflections on the meaning of it all offer hope and resilience.
