We look into how people learn to live with chronic, severe illnesses. Journalist Richard M. Cohen, who has MS, has followed the lives of five people who have serious conditions like ALS and bipolar disorder; he writes about them in a new book called Strong at the Broken Places: Voices of Illness, a Chorus of Hope. He’s joined by his wife Meredith Vieira of the "Today Show."
