Lucid and lyric, informational and inspirational--a lasting testament to the human spirit and its indefatigable instinct for lasting meaning in a temporal world In his classic bestseller Anatomy of an Illness , the late Norman Cousins showed us how to use our minds to heal our bodies. In The Celebration of Life , he offers healing balm for the modern soul. In this thought-provoking and unusual book, Cousins takes on a subject no less than immortality itself and shows how we can realize it here and now, every moment of our daily lives. Written in a unique dialogue form, The Celebration of Life is a compelling conversational survey of modern science, philosophy, religion, physics, politics, ecology, and the biology of the human spirit that supports his view that our one hope for the future--and our own immortality--rests in the recognition of our common humanity.
