Can the heartbreak in our lives result in coronary disease if left unaddressed? Do negative feelings such as anger and abandonment leave us more susceptible to disease? If so, can the damanaging effects of these negative emotions be prevented and healed with positive emotions such as love and laughter? These are the questions Dr. Stephen Sinatra addresses in this ground-braeking title, Hearthbreak and Heart Disease. Drawing on his extensive experience as a cardiologist and his findings in the field of minf/body medicine, Dr. Sinatra offers a pioneering approach to preventing and treating the Western world's biggest killer-- heart disease. After exploring the ways in which the mind, body, and spirit work together to promote and protect our health, Sinatra illustrates how opening our hearts and releasing suppressed emotions can restore balance in our lives. Utilizing breathing exercises, body movements to relieve tension in the head, neck, and back meditation, prayer and much more, Sinatra outlines his prescription for conquering heart disease using several case histories. This title is the first comprehensive, mind/body/spirit approach for healing the heart and now is available in a new paperback edition.

Winner of the 2023 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award A Five Books "Best Literary Science Writing" Book of 2023 • A Smithsonian Best Science Book of 2022 • A Prospect Magazine Top Memoir of 2022 • A KCRW Life Examined Best Book of 2022 "Keen observer [and] deft writer" (David Quammen) Florence Williams explores the fascinating, cutting-edge science of heartbreak while seeking creative ways to mend her own. When her twenty-five-year marriage suddenly falls apart, journalist Florence Williams expects the loss to hurt. But when she starts feeling physically sick, losing weight and sleep, she sets out in pursuit of rational explanation. She travels to the frontiers of the science of "social pain" to learn why heartbreak hurts so much—and why so much of the conventional wisdom about it is wrong. Soon Williams finds herself on a surprising path that leads her from neurogenomic research laboratories to trying MDMA in a Portland therapist’s living room, from divorce workshops to the mountains and rivers that restore her. She tests her blood for genetic markers of grief, undergoes electrical shocks while looking at pictures of her ex, and discovers that our immune cells listen to loneliness. Searching for insight as well as personal strategies to game her way back to health, she seeks out new relationships and ventures into the wilderness in search of an extraordinary antidote: awe. With warmth, daring, wit, and candor, Williams offers a gripping account of grief and healing. Heartbreak is a remarkable merging of science and self-discovery that will change the way we think about loneliness, health, and what it means to fall in and out of love.
