Book Reviews of The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness

Book Review: A Fantastic Read for Both Patients and Doctors!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a patient with several serious debilitating diseases. I have been very close to death and hope is what saved me. One way I obtain hope is by reading books like this one. I have strong relationship with my doctors and my relationships with them make all the difference. I enjoyed the doctor's intimate thoughts and feelings openly shared with readers of this book. It puts light on how their emotions are effected by their patient's recovery or decline. I found this book to be very well written, honest, inspiring, and hopeful. I highly recommend this book to medical professionals, patients, and loved ones affected and invloved with the tender issues of life, death, and hope.

Summary of The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness

Why do some people find and sustain hope during difficult circumstances, while others do not? What can we learn from those who do, and how is their example applicable to our own lives? The Anatomy of Hope is a journey of inspiring discovery, spanning some thirty years of Dr. Jerome Groopman’s practice, during which he encountered many extraordinary people and sought to answer these questions.

This profound exploration begins when Groopman was a medical student, ignorant of the vital role of hope in patients’ lives–and it culminates in his remarkable quest to delineate a biology of hope. With appreciation for the human elements and the science, Groopman explains how to distinguish true hope from false hope–and how to gain an honest understanding of the reach and limits of this essential emotion.
