The Scalpel and the Soul wins Nautilus Book Award

Dr. Hamilton's first book, The Scalpel and the Soul: Encounters with Surgery, the Supernatural, and the Healing Power of Hope, was awarded the Nautilus Silver Award. He now joins the ranks of  Deepak Chopra, M.D., Barbara Kingsolver, Thich Nnat Hanh, Jean Houston, PhD., Eckhart Tolle, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. All are Nautilus Award winners.

"This award is a gift, not a reward. It reminds me the world is like that: beautiful things are given to us without our having done anything to deserve them," commented Dr. Hamilton in his blog posting on the award.

The Nautilus Book Awards were conceived to recognize and reward world-changing books. As a Silver Award Winner, The Scalpel and the Soul will pass to the highest level of judging for the Nautilus Awards, the Gold Award level. Read Dr. Hamilton's Blog regarding the Nautilus Award

"There is more to medicine than surgery and prescriptions.
Faith, hope and spirituality are all part of healing and recovery. "

Dr. Allan Hamilton, a Harvard trained brain surgeon, shares inspirational stories
and advice that empower well being in both patients and healthcare professionals alike.

"When a health crisis strikes, we confront great dangers and dark fears.
Yet illness can offer opportunities to tap into unseen powers beyond the physical world. When we reach out, the world of the spirit becomes ours."
-- Allan Hamilton, MD
