About this title: A treatise on the physiology and meaning of the human body, written by the Yale professor of surgery whose previous work, "How We Die", won the National Book Award. Nuland explores the ways in which the body's biological equilibrium--its instinctual process of corruption and healing--influences and even defines human nature.

"After having read How We Die, I searched his other books and have been equally as pleased. How we live describes the body processes of how we live with interesting case studies that make the information more palatable than simply straight up."
"this book gave me mixed feelings... the author writes like a physician who wanted to write a book... however, the actual short stories and occurrences throughout the book were inspiring and they made me sit on the edge of my seat content-wise"
