Anatomy of an Illness was the first book by a patient that spoke to
our current interest in taking charge of our own health. It started
the revolution in patients working with their doctors and using
humor to boost their bodies' capacity for healing. When Norman
Cousins was diagnosed with a crippling and irreversible disease, he
forged an unusual collaboration with his physician, and together
they were able to beat the odds. The doctor's genius was in helping
his patient to use his own powers: laughter, courage, and tenacity.
The patient's talent was in mobilizing his body's own natural
resources, proving what an effective healing tool the mind can be.
This remarkable story of the triumph of the human spirit is truly
inspirational reading.
This is a new release of the original 1960 edition.

Cousins recalls key moments from his forty years of learning,
editing and writing, reporting on important events, acting as a
presidential emissary, and working on health projects, and tells of
his work with famous men and women.
For the first time in paperback, a spiritual classic from the
author of the national bestseller Anatomy of an Illness, which
detailed Cousins' recovery from a fatal illness using mind/body
healing techniques. A Celebration of Life further examines the
relationship of mind and body.
In this book, a seasoned commentator on world affairs discusses the
way power in government becomes enlarged, exploited, and
institutionalized not just as the result of external dangers, real
or contrived, but as the result of the way the arms race spills
over into and dominates foreign policy. The clandestine operation
that led to the Iran-Contra affair, Norman Cousins observes, is a
recent example of dangerous trend with its own momentum. Mr.
Cousins returns here to the central theme that dominated the
editorial pages of the Saturday Review during the thirty years of
his editorship: the challenge to human freedom and safety
represented by vast destructive power slipping away from the means
of control."
A special gift edition of Norman Cousins's phenomenal bestseller on illness overcome and the triumph of the human spirit.
Norman Cousins's enormously influential best-selling book illustrates the concept at the heart of the holistic health principle: that the human mind is capable of promoting the body's potential for healing itself even when faced with a seemingly hopeless medical predicament. Recounting his personal experiences of working in close collaboration with his doctor to overcome a crippling and supposedly irreversible disease, Cousins outlines the life-saving and ultimately life-prolonging benefits to be gained by taking responsibility for one's own well-being. "I have learned," the author writes, "never to underestimate the capacity of the human mind and body to regenerateeven when the prospects seem most wretched." This remarkable story of the triumph of the human spirit is inspirational reading for anyone contending with a serious illness.
