The HeartMath Solution: The Institute of HeartMath's Revolutionary Program for Engaging the Power of the Heart's Intelligence
By: Doc Childre, Howard Martin, and Donna Beech Published: 1999 304 Pages (But somehow this translates to only 2 hours 45 minutes on audio…)
Briefly, what is this book about?
The idea that the heart contains a separate brain, and true emotional health comes from aligning the heart's brain and its "intelligence", with the actual brain. Basically it's mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) wrapped in pseudoscience.
What authorial biases should I be aware of?
These guys are definitely trying to sell you on the HeartMath program. Also many of the studies they cite were conducted by their institute.
Who should read this book?
No one, unless perhaps for its (completely unintentional) value as a work of humor.
