America's number one killer, heart disease, devastates more than 1.5 million people each year. Often more difficult than the physical trauma is the sense of lost purpose and forgotten happiness. How can you be a good heart patient and a spiritual, loving person when life is suddenly a succession of medicines and hospital bills? Using his 30 years worth of experience treating so-called hopeless cardiac patients, Dr. Bruno Cortis teaches us everything he knows about how to prolong and preserve the quality of life - in short, how to become an "exceptional heart patient."

Heart & Soul, as well as offering sound medical advice, is a modern philosophy for happy, health living. This valuable addition to the mind/body movement will add years to your life and love to your heart.
