Dean Ornish, M.D. Author of Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease In Thriving with Heart Disease, Dr. Wayne Sotile has identified an important fact: for many heart patients, their coping attitudes, not the severity of the disease, may determine how long they will live and how happy they will be. Highly recommended.

Thankfully, Dr. Wayne Sotile has written the definitive guide for transforming heart disease and making sure you don't become a statistic. Here is a book that you, your heart, and your family will love.

Harry Croft, M.D. Medical Director and Founder, The San Antonio Psychiatric Research Center Dr. Sotile is, without question, this country's leading authority on the psychological, emotional, and relationship effects of making it through heart disease. His understanding and compassion will be invaluable for heart patients who are coping with and living through the initial diagnosis and treatment of the illness, and then living the rest of their lives with it. For patients with heart disease and those who care about and for them, this book is a must-read.
Barry A. Franklin, Ph.D. Director, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Exercise Laboratories, William Beaumont Hospital; coauthor of Take a Load Off Your Heart This wonderful book fills a critical void for patients by dealing with the day-to-day emotional and psychosocial challenges of heart disease -- managing stress, managing anger and hostility, dealing with depression, and resuming sexual activity. Peppered with inspirational real-life stories; anecdotal experiences; humor; self-assessment tests; and compassionate, practical, research-based advice, it answers many important questions that are seldom, if ever, addressed by physicians and health-care providers.

Product Description
If you are one of the 61 million Americans diagnosed with heart disease -- whether you've had a heart attack or surgery, or you have high blood pressure or angina -- you can learn how to handle its psychological side effects with the lifesaving strategies in this book.
Acclaimed cardiac psychologist Wayne M. Sotile, Ph.D., reveals what every heart patient needs to know: how you feel about the illness and how you cope with it can determine how fully you recover. Dr. Sotile teaches you how to achieve emotional well-being over the four basic stages of recovery, during which you and your family learn to accept the disease, grasp what's involved in treatment and recovery, and learn to work together as a team. You will also learn to create and adapt to a "new normal" way of life and make a commitment to living with the illness, not in spite of it.
Written with reassuring warmth, sensitivity, and humor, Thriving with Heart Disease is your guide to creating the robust, healthy life you were meant to lead, surrounded by the people you love.

This review is from: 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 (Hardcover)
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.

This review is from: 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 (Paperback)
"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!
