Summary: How to put your heart at the heart of everything you do!
Review: "Care is an oil that lubricates the entire mental, emotional, and physical system. If you run your system without care, it's like running your car without oil - resulting in friction and breakdown."If you've read many personal development books, you know that to find a truly original idea is rare. The best authors have the gift of saying something old in a new way that makes it more accessible; the worst simply have the temerity to say something old the way it's always been said and stick their names on the front cover. What sets Doc Childre and the Heartmath team aside is that they actually came up with something new, and then back it up with a set of simple techniques to put their findings into practice. Their discovery is that the physical heart has a lot more to do with our health and well-being than we ever thought possible, and that the simple act of "activating heart energy" by focusing attention on your physical heart and feeling sincere feelings of love, care, and appreciation reduces stress, strengthens our immune system, and gives us a reliable means to access our intuition. The Heartmath Solution is a great overview of their work, yet practical enough to begin benefitting from immediately. As an added bonus for those of you tired of the "fuzzy science" that many new-age tomes use to "prove" reincarnation, alien abduction, and the existence of Lemuria, the "math" part of heartmath actually stands up to some examination. Studies measuring ECG, HRV, IGA, DHEA and just about every other set of initials you can think of help satisfy the part of our brain that cries out for a rational explanation for something we all intuitively know - that love is good! Highly recommended.

Summary: The HeartMath Solution falls short on hard science.
Review: Doc Lew Childre is one of the most inovative writers and thinkers in this country. His words have proven out to be the most believable of anything I have found. His attempt to save the planet and change the world boils done to just loving all people and loving ones self. His teachings to save us from ourselves is profound. I love you Doc Lew Childre.

Summary: Fast way not to react to someone and take care of yourself
Review: Down to earth. The HeartMath Solution is easy for me. I shift to what really matters to me and then respond to the situation. Shifting to my physical heart was was simpler than I thought. I actually am able to slow down enough in the moment to get some new perspectives.I recomend this book to anyone needing to revisit the fun that counts in their life.

Summary: The heart is more important than suspected.
Review: How can you get any good out of the heart if at first the heart is cleansed or taught the good things in life. If you beleive the Bible this is what the bible says. Jer 17:9 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (KJV) Matt 15:18-20 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. (KJV) So there definitly has to be more to it then just tapping into the heart.

Summary: The HeartMath Solution falls short on hard science.
Review: The HeartMath Solution is an admirable work generated for the "self-help" audience. As a researcher in heart rate variability, I found it unfortunate that the real value of this work is lost in its self-serving style. A great deal of the research cited was generated "in-house" and provides the bulk of the scientific "validation" for the highly trade-marked and copyrighted procedures presented. Additionally, as a reader,I was very disappointed at the overt marketing content which seems to reduce the perceived value of this potentially important area of study. The HeartMath Solution falls short on hard science and, because of its self-referential style, is reduced to a very long brochure for the HeartMath Institute's follow-on commercial programs. Considering the altruistic nature of the subject, I can't believe that this is the book that HeartMath really intended to produce.

Summary: I heartily recommend - Pun Intended
Review: The Heartmath Solution outlines the important role that our hearts play in our emotional lives, especially with regard to stress, anger, and anxiety. The Heartmath Solution is several exercises that use the heart, not the head, as the key to controlling emotional wellbeing, both for acute and chronic emotional situations. The science behind the theory is well documented and quite compelling, and the techniques are easy to learn and practice. Do yourself a big favor and BUY THIS BOOK, then buy several copies for friends and family, like I did.

Summary: Pushing back the boundaries of understanding? Read this book
Review: The Institute of HeartMath is at the cutting edge of systems theory research as it applies to human physiology and behaviour. Their ideas challenge many old belief structures in science. As such their views form part of a much broader and rising awareness amongst scientists that the old assumptions on which much of science and medicine is based requires a significant review. The HeartMath Solution is perhaps their clearest exposition to date of their views, and is rightly supported by their own research. The books is perhaps insufficiently supported by the sizeable body of evidence which indicates that emotions are critical to health and in particular positive emotions can play a very significant role in enhancing health and well being. As an MD and HRV researcher myself I welcome HeartMath's attempt to promote this understanding. If only more scientists would concentrate on what human beings can do to help themselves rather than chart the detrimental impacts of poor health practices and disease we might be further forward in our fight to promote a healthier and more balanced world. I recommend this book to all open-minded scientists and clinicians.
