The Heart Speaks: A Cardiologist Reveals the Secret Language of Healing - Softcover

Dr. Guarneri was trained to view the heart as an isolated organ that could be regulated, bypassed or transplanted through surgery. Her job was to wait for someone to have a heart attack and then try to save their life. Yet through her patients, she realised the heart is a much more complex organ than she had been taught - and that healing starts with human connection. In this engrossing book, Dr. Guarneri explores the new science that shows how the heart can be 'broken' as much by loneliness and depression as high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure, and that 'mending' can have more to do with healing a mind and soul than genetics and nutrition. The heart is the first organ to exhibit life and the last to die, Guarneri gives us invaluable information on how to look after it.
