The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness by Jerome Groopma

Description: The Anatomy of Hope by Jerome Groopman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Since the time of the ancient Greeks, human beings have believed that hope is essential to life. Now, in this groundbreaking book, a Harvard Medical School professor and "New Yorker" staff writer shows readers why. Publisher Description Why do some people find and sustain hope during difficult circumstances, while others do not? What can we learn from those who do, and how is their example applicable to our own lives? The Anatomy of Hope is a journey of inspiring discovery, spanning some thirty years of Dr. Jerome Groopmans practice, during which he encountered many extraordinary people and sought to answer these questions. This profound exploration begins when Groopman was a medical student, ignorant of the vital role of hope in patients lives–and it culminates in his remarkable quest to delineate a biology of hope. With appreciation for the human elements and the science, Groopman explains how to distinguish true hope from false hope–and how to gain an honest understanding of the reach and limits of this essential emotion. Author Biography Jerome Groopman, M.D., holds the Dina and Raphael Recanati Chair of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School and is the chief of experimental medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
