Description
"A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO SURVIVAL... A BRILLIANT AND MUCH-NEEDED STUDY OF A PATIENT'S RELATION TO HIS ILLNESS, TO HIS DOCTORS AND TO THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY." THE NEW YORK TIMES
Norman Cousins' bestselling ANATOMY OF AN ILLNESS was a life-affirming reminder that "laugh- ter is the best medicine." THE HEALING HEART is the story of how that trust in the power of positive emotions saved him from fatal panic when he was struck by a massive heart attack. In an age when impersonal medical technology makes most of us feel helpless to help ourselves, Norman Cousins tells us how to mobilize our own natural strength against illness. For most Americans, heart disease signals the end of life. THE HEALING HEART offers hope to the patient, family, and physician that the will to live, to be happy and well, is as powerful a prescription for health as any from modern science.
