About this product

Product Information

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 regenerate?ven 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.

  • Uplifting, awe inspiring :-)

    Excellent Book. So encouraging and uplifting especially for anyone who has an illness that doctors are unable to cure. We are our own best healers, and Norman Cousins demonstrates this. Amazing story, and his stories of the experiences he has had with other amazing people is a joy to read.
