Book Reviews of Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient: Reflections on Healing and Regeneration

Book Review: Easy and inspired reading!
Summary: 5 Stars

I read 'Anatomy of an Illness' over twenty years ago and have only skimmed it since. However, I'm reviewing it because i feel like the previous post left a lot to be desired. 'Anatomy of an Illness' will never be 'outdated' because positive energy and humor are crucial to the healing process, and because holistic health will never go out of style. I quote the author: "I have learned never to underestimate the capacity of the human mind and body to regenerate..." It's an easy read. I regularly buy this book for friends and family who have serious health issues. Tonight I'm buying two copies. Highly recommended!

Summary of Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient: Reflections on Healing and Regeneration

A special gift edition of Norman Cousins's phenomenal bestseller on illness overcome and the triumph of the human spirit. The premise of Norman Cousins's enormously influential work is that the human mind is capable of promoting the body's capacity for combating illness and healing itself even when faced with a seemingly hopeless medical predicament. The author recounts his personal experiences while working in close collaboration with his doctor to overcome a crippling and supposedly irreversible disease, and illustrates the life-saving and ultimately life-prolonging benefits to be gained by taking responsibility for one's own well-being. Cousins's story is inspirational reading for anyone contending with a serious illness. A New York Times bestseller.
