Positive Mind, Healthy Heart!
Here's the problem: 17 million Americans suffer from heart disease and every year 1 million of them will be lucky enough to survive a heart attack. They fully understand that they have to alter their diet, reduce their stress, increase the amount of exercise they do—not for a few months, but forever. So they promise to do better, yet they can’t seem to make it happen. What they need is a guide to staying the course to heart health. What they need is something and someone they can turn to day after day after day.
Here's the solution: POSITIVE MIND, HEALTHY HEART (Workman, February 2010), by Joe Piscatella. Perhaps the longest-surviving bypass patient in the world—32 years and counting—Joe is poised to deliver the support that people with heart disease need. The secret of his extraordinary success lies in the stories, inspirations, quotes and pieces of wisdom he reads every morning. And those are what he shares in this book.
When it's 5:00 A.M. and raining outside and Joe is tempted to skip that morning jog, he remembers "runner" Bob Ireland, a Vietnam vet who lost both legs in the war yet finished the New York marathon using only his arms, the first person ever to do so.
Or when Joe is hungry and feeling that a hot dog is calling his name, he stays on a healthy track by recalling what Thomas Edison once said: "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
Staying centered every day has worked for Joe Piscatella for 32 years. It will work for you, too.
