Now, in this groundbreaking book, Harvard Medical School professor and New Yorker staff writer Jerome Groopman shows us why.\n\nThe search for hope is most urgent at the patient’s bedside. The Anatomy of Hope takes us there, bringing us into the lives of people at pivotal moments when they reach for and find hope--or when it eludes their grasp. Through these intimate portraits, we learn how to distinguish true hope from false, why some people feel they are undeserving of it, and whether we should ever abandon our search.\n\nCan hope contribute to recovery by changing physical well-being? To answer this hotly debated question, Groopman embarked on an investigative journey to cutting-edge laboratories where researchers are unraveling an authentic biology of hope. There he finds a scientific basis for understanding the role of this vital emotion in the outcome of illness.\n\nHere is a book that offers a new way of thinking about hope, with a message for all readers, not only patients and their families. \"We are just beginning to appreciate hope’s reach,\" Groopman writes, \"and have not defined its limits. I see hope as the very heart of healing.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375506381\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0375506381.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jerome Groopman, M.D.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
