Anatomy of an Illness, Norman Cousins s story of a
recovery from a crippling illness, has helped thousands
of persons to mobilize their healing resources. The
illness described in that book was comparatively rare
and the outcome was uncertain.
In The Healing Heart, Norman Cousins deals with
an illness that is the most common cause of death in the
United States. More people die from heart attacks and
heart disease than from any other malady. In this warm
and richly human story, Cousins tells of his recent
massive heart attack that occurred in December 1980.
It is a dramatic account that highlights the importance
of the patient s essential role in combating serious
illness. It is also the story of a team healing effort, a
"partnership" between a patient and his physician,
working together to bring about recovery.
But this book is much more than an account of a
remarkable personal response to challenge. It ad-
dresses itself to the problem of panic and helplessness
produced by any serious disease. In heart attacks,
especially, panic can intensify the underlying problem
by constricting the blood vessels, forcing a heart that is
already in precarious condition to put forth extra effort
in order to pump blood through the narrowed
openings.
Norman Cousins believes that antidotes to panic and
helplessness are well within the reach of most people.
He describes techniques developed at various medical
centers for liberating patients from fears and forebod-
ings that can in fact represent serious intensifying
factors in disease.
What make this book so valuable and engrossing is

heart attacks is from within a medical school. Since
1978, Norman Cousins has been a member of the
faculty of the School of Medicine at the University of
California in Los Angeles. His special field of study
