5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Important Book on Heart Health Ever Written, May 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Love, Sex, and Your Heart: The Health-Happiness Connection (Mass Market Paperback)

Of all the books I have ever read on the heart (and I've read dozens), this one is far and above the very best. If you really want to understand the way emotions and self-expression effect the function of the heart, this is the book. Thank you Dr. Lowen!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cost of So Called Success, March 2, 2011

This review is from: Love, Sex, & Your Heart (Paperback)

In this book, Lowen speaks to the divide in our culture between success and satisfaction. While psychology is sometimes thought to be of use only to the under-performing, here Lowen really shows the cost of so-called success. This book is about heart disease in the broadest sense possible. Because heart disease is perceived at times to disproportionately afflict successful white males, it gets a lot of attention but not much understanding. Lowen fills the gap. If you are coming to this book because of an interest in the heart and this will be your first Alexander Lowen book, get ready for a treat, because, as always, he is very clear and unabashed about his stance toward life and health.

Dr Sinatra, the cardiologist who wrote the preface to this book, also wrote Heartbreak and Heart Disease: A Mind/Body Prescription for Healing the Heart which also tackles issues of success and heart disease from a bio-energetic perspective.
