The Anatomy of Hope

Praise for The Anatomy of Hope


“Provocative and important . . . a book about healing and life . . . Groopman . . . writes with a clear, crisp, unpretentious prose that keeps the reader interested and the pages turning. Like Oliver Sacks and Atul Gawande, he is a master storyteller who uses the examples of real patients to explain the mysteries of medicine.”
–Boston Sunday Globe

“The Anatomy of Hope sings with compassion and honesty.”
–ANITA DIAMANT

“Here is a man who has seen many deaths and many miracles and who writes about them with vigor and faith in the power of individuals to change their fates and in some power larger than all of us as well.”
–Los Angeles Times Book Review

“This book is the guide and the promise that all of us–patients and doctors alike–have been seeking, in the quest for hope amid the trials and fears of illness.”
–SHERWIN B. NULAND, M.D.


“The kind of hope–the kind of love–that shines through this book’s pages . . . will undoubtedly save many other patients and their families, in body and in spirit.”
–The Washington Post Book World
