Bruce Johnson, the author, is a heart attack survivor and he wants to get the word out. While much has been written about the medical side of heart attacks, little has been written about the emotional and human side of heart attacks and cardiovascular disease.

It really doesn't matter what sparks the sudden Coronary Thrombosis (MI), the medical term for a heart attack. This disease is an equal opportunity killer. Men, women, young, old, rich, poor, famous and people who aren't known outside of their families and workplaces Dead is dead and by most accounts the one million people who will have heart attacks this year might have been spared had they made a few lifestyle changes. That's what the country's cardiologists are begging for today.

The author interviewed dozens of candidates but he wanted a diverse group of heart attack survivors who represented a cross section of America. He found them and in some cases, they heard about his project and found him. These are their stories of regaining life after a heart attack

The causes of schizophrenia are many, including extreme stress, chemical imbalance, reaction to drugs, genetic predisposition, isolation, low self-esteem, and even a damaged or weakened aura (a supposed emanation surrounding the body of a living creature viewed by mystics, spiritualists, and some practitioners of complementary medicine as the essence of the individual and allegedly discernible by people with special sensibilities). My personal onset of schizophrenia and depression at age forty-two was caused, I believe, by a combination of the above.

Through the caring help of family, friends, medical doctors, healers, and my own insights and intuitions, I was able to become completely free of the symptoms of schizophrenia and all antipsychotic and antidepressant medications used to treat the illness. Most influential and important to my healing and recovery, however, was the utilization of both borrowed and original strategies that keep me healthy to this day. The sharing of these strategies, which include identifying one's gifts; relying on family members, friends, and caregivers; improving one's self-esteem; identifying one's authentic self; connecting with healers; being in gratitude; setting goals; and using positive affirmations for the purpose of recovering and maintaining positive mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health is the reason why I have written this book.

This is a book from the Heart. The authors, Dr Yaron Seidman (Connecticut, USA) and Teja A. Jaensch (Sydney, Australia), present an investigation into the human Heart, revealing a method of healing never seen before. In this practical and profound exploration, the authors reach numerous breakthroughs in the understanding of Natural Character and the Heart, how to comprehend health and disease, and how to approach medicine from a point of Center. After studying with Master LiA BC igC" ( a a1/4-e .), grand grandson of the QAng dynasty scholar physician LiA YuA n ( a ae ... ), Seidman and Jaensch filtered the complete compendium of HuA i XuAn ( ae e1/2(c) ) philosophy. Over 4000 pages of classical Chinese text were researched, the pure essence distilled and translated, and presented here in this book. From finding his lost tomb in the fields of ShuAngliA county, to the remembrance of LiA 's life work, the Lost Heart of Medicine has been formed and found. This book is a must read for any practitioner of medicine and their p

Our society is obsessed with numbers.

We are compelled to search for success based on an arbitrary quantity of fat grams and carbohydrates. We are convinced that victory is hidden just beyond our reach in the number of reps we complete or the size stamped on the waistband of our jeans.

So we buy the hype and join another program and begin again. Unfortunately, in no time we find ourselves at the losing end of another battle for self-control. We carry around the disappointment, and it glares back every time we glance in the mirror. Our failures mock our clothing preferences, complicate our food choices, and interfere with our relationships.

We would try again, but looking at our past littered with dangerous diet pills and extreme food plans, unused exercise equipment and discarded gym memberships, we are convinced there is no point. If the past is any indication, success--even if it is achievable--will be short-lived and meaningless. Why bother?

The truth is, success is not bound to a number. Disorderly eating and a poor self-image are not things that can be remedied with a product off the shelf. Our issues are more than skin deep when toxic situations from the past dictate current behaviors.

Freedom from numbers can only be found by uncovering and overcoming the root issues that drive beliefs regarding food and body image.

Bound by Numbers is a thoughtful approach to healthy living that begins by addressing internal issues first. Based on extensive research and real-life examples, you'll learn how to jump off the treadmill of harmful ideas and jump into a brand-new life free from the past.

This will be the last time you'll ever have to start all over again.
