metaphysical book from the 50's

[Corbett]

I am trying to find a book for my friend that I read a long time ago. I know it was written by a woman, and the two things I remember about the book was that she felt the 'puritan work ethic' was to blame for people suffering from virus more that 2 days. She said something like " if your work ethic doesn't allow you to stay in bed unless you are sick, get a one or 2 day virus, not one that lingers on for 2 weeks. The other thing she said is "God wants you to be comfortable, if you don't feel comfortable, write a letter to God detailing what you need in order to be comfortable."

I hope someone here knows who that author is.

Thanks!
