Norman Cousins Links

Over the course of his lifetime, Norman Cousins inspired countless people, from all walks of life  —  myself included. My encounter with Norman (as he insisted on being called) was among the most surprising and rewarding of my life.

Cousins lived a very hard-working and public life, and distinguished himself gracefully in nearly every endeavor: writer, editor, diplomat, political activist, lecturer and medical researcher.

In their variety and scope, the few links I've assembled here* reveal just how gifted an individual he was. Enjoy!
