"Maybe the thing that was the most impactful for me was the email I got that was time-stamped 2:16 a.m. and it simply said, 'Thank you for the thank you power. I think you saved my life,'" she says about a memorable reader email she received about her 2007 book Thank You Power: Making the Science of Gratitude Work for You. "That gives me chills. That's pretty cool."
Norville's interview addresses the media's role in health awareness, and how people can empower themselves when it comes to their and their family's health.
"I think what we in the media can do is help others understand it is okay to be persistent. It is okay to be impolite, it is okay to insist on answers and it is imperative to be informed," she stresses to Dr. Lewis-Hall.
