Item Description
Based on his 1989 book, Dr. Cousins relates inspiring accounts of physicians and patients who have supplemented medical treatment with the healing power of positive attitudes, hope, and laughter.
"Cousins was appointed adjunct professor at the School of Medicine, UCLA, in 1978 following publication of Anatomy of an Illness, which detailed the attitudes that helped him recover from a compound of grave maladies which included a heart attack. Here he relates stories of physicians, researchers and patients who augment medical treatments with hope and positive emotions, especially laughter, showing that "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine.'' Cousins stresses that positive attitudes...promote the healing of body and spirit. He supports his anecdotal research with scientific data that should convince readers that the "mind creates the ambience of treatment. The head comes first.'' Cousins's scrupulously detailed information makes the book invaluable.
