Dr Nikki Stamp is a heart and lung surgeon, working at Fiona Stanley Hospital, and in this fascinating book she takes us on a journey into the heart – what makes it tick, and what keeps it ticking nicely. She even answers the question “can you die of a broken heart” – and you’ll find the answer, and the mind-body connections she reveals, fascinating. There’s a famous quote by Japanese author Mineko Iwasaki that sum it up “stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound lasts a lifetime”.As well as getting an understanding of how the heart works, you’ll learn from this book so much about how diet, exercise, healthy relationships, depression and many other factors affect heart health. It’s written in an engaging way that will have you hooked from page 1. Highly recommended.
