This quote from the book sums up the contents: "As people open their hearts more, emotional understanding will bring them insights before science is able to explain the whole process." Many of the HeartMath techniques in this book are in others but the wording and tone used in this one are completely aligned with my own way of thinking and processing. I'm really comfortable with the idea that stress comes from your perceptions and reactions to them. Shift from the brain to the heart and you show more can broaden your perceptions and release your stress. show less

This HeartMath book uses the same techniques as others but in a more focused context of stress and anger. What I liked best about this guide was the direct applications for the workplace; even introducing the concept of "business heart" which uses practical and measurable ways of dealing with stress in the workplace by adding more heart and compassion.

This book provides a complete yet concise overview of hypertension causes and traditional treatments. It goes on to show how HeartMath techniques can assist in lowering stress and directly impact heart physiology. The last few chapters are loaded with medical backup and references. It was written by a MD (Bruce C. Wilson) who has a pretty good sense of humor making this an easy read.

Using a combination of scientific studies, examples and an extensive list of references, this book provides an introduction to the HeartMath Solution for relieving worry, fatigue and tension. As a rational thinker, I have often underestimated the impact that emotions and heart awareness have on my life. This book has been a key to helping me begin to realize how my attitudes have created health issues as well as limitations to the creative power and intelligence of the heart and emotions. show more Thanks to Janet for introducing me to this material. show less
