Many people know Dean Ornish as the doctor who proved that symptoms of heart disease can be reversed with a regimen of a low-fat diet, exercise, and stress reduction. In Love & Survival, he concentrates on the less tangible aspects of a healthful life. Through anecdotes and dozens of scientific studies, Ornish demonstrates that personal intimacy and other aspects of emotional well-being--all the elements that make up what we call "love"--are as important to our physical condition as to our mental health. Not only do these positive emotions motivate us to make better lifestyle choices, Ornish argues, they also have a powerful direct effect on our bodies, giving us stronger immune systems, better cardiovascular functioning, and longer life expectancies. But the benefits of opening our hearts to others go beyond curing our bodies of disease; it's also the first step toward healing our entire lives. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From AudioFile
More than diet, exercise, stress, or genetics, the greatest influence on healing is being connected to others in a loving, intimate way. We don't have continuous relationships at work and church anymore, so at home it's even more important that we share who we are in stable, trusting relationships. Such relationships make the heart more open to love and resistant to many types of medical problems. While the author's training and experience are impressive, what distinguishes the program is his compassion and openness about his own journey toward better connections with others. A similar audio is titled The Healing Power of Love and Intimacy and is based on the public TV special of the same name.
