Thriving With Heart Disease: The Leading Authority on the Emotional Effects of Heart Disease Tells You and Your Family How to Heal and Reclaim Your Lives

I ordered this book for my mother she is 84 and had a receint heart attack and stent placed. I had the book delivered straight to her mail box. She received it in just a few days.The local stores were out of the book and it was not available at the library. She has read and used the book often it has been a great resource for her. She feels like they are talking about her situation. The book has helped transition my mother back to a normal life and given her hope. The book is written in simple terms my mother has no medical back ground and is able to understand well.

"Thriving With Heart Disease" is a very informative book that every heart patient should have in their arsenal. It really is "right on" in terms of the emotional aspects a heart attack poses not only for the patient but also the patient's family. In addition, it poses possible ways of dealing with issues that are all part of the recovery process. I highly recommend it!

Scary but thorough. A good read for heart patients who want to better their lives.

Person i gave it to read the first chapter before I left and had already good things to say about it and a positive attitude which was the point.

I found this book helpful in learning to manage anxiety following a heart attack.

After discovering I had heart disease & undergoing a stent procedure, then a open heart surgery, I needed a book that dealt with the emotional side of heart surgery. This book answered my questions.

Very interesting different perspectives on life’s adventures.
