This is a book that should be read by everyone whose life has ever been touched by a chronic illness. It's not depressing; it's about lifting yourself up to live beyond the illness. If you ever read what this man has to go through in order to write, you will realize how much it's possible to do, in spite on the illness. Because he's an excellent writer and married to Meredith Vieira, it's also a very interesting read. I highly recommend it, and his second book, where even with his illness he traveled the country to take the research beyond a personal memoir, and believe it belongs on everyone's bookshelf. Even if you're fortunate enough not to be touched by illness today, someone you love may be, or that day may come for all of us. This book is like a gift of coping.
