Cousins also served as Adjunct Professor of Medical Humanities for the
School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, where
he did research on the biochemistry of human emotions, which he long
believed were the key to human beings’ success in fighting illness. It
was a belief he maintained even as he battled heart disease, which he
fought both by taking massive doses of Vitamin C and, according to
him, by training himself to laugh.[4][5] He wrote a collection of
best-selling non-fiction books on illness and healing, as well as a
1980 autobiographical memoir, Human Options: An Autobiographical
Notebook. Late in life Cousins was diagnosed with a form of arthritis
then called Marie-Strumpell's disease (ankylosing spondylitis),[6]
although this diagnosis is currently in doubt and it has been
suggested that Cousins may actually have had reactive arthritis. His
struggle with this illness is detailed in the book and movie Anatomy
of an Illness.
