Type A Behavior and Your Heart
Do you have a habit of (a) explosively accentuating key words in your ordinary speech . . . and (b) finishing your sentences in a burst of speed?
Do you always move, walk, eat rapidly?
Do you get unduly irritated at delay -- when the car in front of you seems to slow you up, when you have to wait in line, or wait to be seated in a restaurant?
Do you often try to do two things at once?
Do you almost always feel vaguely guilty when you relax and do absolutely nothing for several days (even several hours)?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, you may be falling into the dangerous TYPE A pattern.

The myopic musings of two educated idiots.

Très instructif d'un point de vue historique et méthodologique. Ce livre donne un bon aperçu de la recherche médicale et de la difficulté à prouver l’efficacité des traitement au quelle étaient confrontés les médecins d'il y a peu. La technologie d'évaluation et du diagnostic rapide non invasif a révolutionnée le travail du médecin, du cardiologue en particulier, en réduisant les boucles de retour des médicaments prescrits.

If you are driven by insecurity, or can only find joy in life through pushing yourself to accumulate more and more, you should check this out. It is beautiful and to the point.

In this work, Type A behavior is explained as well as how it can be counter productive to our heath especially our cardiac health. Diet, exercise, and stress reduction are examined.

Very outdated with certain words and description of people. The basis of type A was somewhat accurate but I can’t forgive the use of negative descriptive words for certain demographics
