About this product

Product Information

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 Groopman's 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' livesand 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 hopeand how to gain an honest understanding of the reach and limits of this essential emotion.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    I bought it for a class in college. The book is pretty interesting and easy to read. It addresses the moral issue of medical paternalism and does a good job in showing how it affects us as patients.

  • The Anatomy of Hope

    I bought this book because it was required for nursing school. I read this book from cover to cover, non-stop, because it was so good!! Groopman writes well and is an excellent story teller; the accounts he tells of his patients are fascinating.
