Recommended by my Cardio Rehab program. I found parts of it helpful. Recommended.

Some nuggets, but I was hoping for more discussion of the psychology a heart attack survivor goes through after the event. This book focused more on how to take care of yourself physically and mentally. Again, some nuggets of good info.

That is what I intend to do.

Don't usually do self help books, but this one appeared at the right moment and changed my outlook!
