Heart Attack Survivor: A Field Guide

Summary: A Handbook for Mental and Physical Health
Review: Having been working in medical and pharmaceutical research for over 20 years, I have never before come across a handbook for mental and physical health like Heart Attack Survivor: A Field Guide by Brad Hanson. This book gives not only a warm and wise discernment of what is important in daily life, but is also a highly practical guide to how to avoid a too early ending of anyone's life. In the stressful world we are living in, this is a book that should be in everyone's possession. Highly recommended!

Summary: Like Chicken Soup for the Soul-Only Tastier!
Review: If you like self-help books, you'll love this one. Although the title targets heart attack survivors, this book is worth reading by anybody who thinks they could enhance the quality of their life, or would like to live a longer, more satisfying life. The personal stories submitted to the author are unique and inspirational, and author Henson's own comments are entertaining yet instructive. If you want to live a better life-read this book...and if you have a spouse, be sure your spouse does too!

Summary: Definitely a Chicken Soup Book
Review: This book is not what I was looking for. Guess I should have read the reviews. I am not saying it is not a good book. I was looking for more than a feel good book. Being a heart attack survivor myself and only being 45 years old I was looking for a book on what it feels like to actually survive a heart attack. If you like the Chicken Soup books and want a feel good book I would recommend this book. If you or a loved one has survived a heart attack and want to read from someone who has been there. I would recommend "An Arrow Through the Heart".

Summary: A great guide - good for everyone.
Review: This is really the only current book that I can find on this topic. I came across it in a small, independent bookstore just the other day. The owner said she just got them in.

The concept of this book really hit home as being easy to read and very, very informative. I especially like the comments and quotes from people in each chapter.

Chapters flow into each other and make a logical progression. I loved the Chapter on being assertive and saying, "No!".

A good read. I highly recommend it.
