Anatomy of an Illness

Author: Norman Cousins
Stars: 5
Review by: Patti K

This, I believe, is a MUST READ for everyone.  Not sure if the library has a copy (this was my personal copy) but it is probably the first book about the mind-body connection and its impact on your health and wellness.  Cousins (former editor of the Saturday Review) was diagnosed with an incurable, degenerative, progressive disease of the spine/cartilage.  He explains, in detail, the unique protocol he put together ~ including laughter ~ to not only overcome the pain but, ultimately, the disease itself.  Wonderful book ~ again, EVERYONE should read this book.
