Synopsis

International Book Awards Finalist
“Original, extraordinary, groundbreaking, iconoclastic, thoughtful, and thought-provoking” — Midwest Book Review


If we trust math to describe the universe and send rockets into space, can it also help us better understand our emotions, our conflicts, and the struggles we face in life?

Math is everywhere. It measures time and distance. It traces patterns in DNA and galaxies. It builds bridges and sends rockets into space.

So why does life feel different? Why do relationships feel harder to navigate than equations? Could emotion be pointing to something we have not yet understood? And could math help us see it more clearly?

Most books about conflict and emotion borrow from psychology. This one draws from math.

Math Heals is a work of reflective nonfiction that examines the structure beneath everyday life. Drawing from experiences in the author’s life as a physical therapist, a homeschooling mother, and a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, the book reflects on how the clarity of mathematics can illuminate the complexity of being human.
