“. . . In a fascinating blend of scientific research and faith-based inquiry, Dr. Rotbart shows how increasing our awareness of the ‘everyday miracles’ around us can move us closer to living a more conscientious and contented life.”

WILL YOU LOOK BACK AT YOUR LIFE SOME DAY WITH CONTENTMENT OR REGRET?
Too many people reach the end of their lives wishing they had done things differently. Could they have changed things?
Turning back the clock is impossible, so the time to act is in the present—because our future hangs in the balance.
No Regrets Living shares 7 Keys to help us better appreciate what we have and take greater pride in what we’ve done with our lives—without spending precious time and energy wishing things had turned out differently.
Dr. Harley Rotbart brings his unique perspective as a physician, scientist, child of a Holocaust survivor, and a heart surgery patient. No Regrets Living leads us to see the world through a lens of appreciation for the magnificence around us, which in turn helps us embrace those not-so-magnificent moments in our lives, move past the downturns, and find better days ahead.
Woven into the book’s timeless message are especially relevant observations on the COVID-19 pandemic from Dr. Rotbart’s expert perspective as an infectious diseases physician, including coping mechanisms and paths for going forward as individuals and as a society.
Advance Praise
"An important book for any age, this book brings the wisdom and experience of a learned man who wants to pass on to others his lessons learned.”
—Jeremy A. Lazarus, MD, past president, American Medical Association
“Dr. Rotbart, a physician and scientist, speaks a universal truth for people of all faiths and for people of no faith—contentment in life comes from reverence for the ‘miracles’ in the world around us, and from the humility to acknowledge we will never fully understand the source or substance of those miracles. You will be deeply moved, as I was.”
—Rabbi Joshua Hammerman, spiritual leader, Temple Beth-El, Stamford, CT; author of Mensch Marks and Embracing Auschwitz
“In No Regrets Living, Dr. Rotbart helps us bridge the gap between sci- ence and faith (meaning the belief in something larger than ourselves) with sage advice for finding contentment and wonder in a world filled with chaos and confusion.
