In German. English title : "The liver grows with its tasks : Funny things from medicine". "Does acupuncture help with cars? Why does happiness tea make you so upset? And how do you find your dream partner with your eyes closed? Physician, cabaret artist, and bestselling author Dr. Eckart von Hirschhausen knows his way around life; nothing human is alien to him, and no one is safe from him. With a diagnostic eye, he discovers the humorous in medicine and everyday life and comes to astonishing conclusions: children should be banned from eating vegetables, the railway is a Buddhist sect, and the holes in cheese make you fat. Eckart von Hirschhausen's texts are not placebos, but humorous advice for living in a world we were never created for. Infectiously funny!" (Goodreads). Illustrated by Eric Rauschenbach. Soft pictorial covers.
