Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum's Heart Book: Every Woman's Guide to a Heart-Healthy Life

It is such a cliche to say everyone should read this book that I won't say it: I will just say if one of the people in your life is a woman, you should get her a copy.My experience is that self-help books have become really specialized; they are about a specific kind of diet, or a specific part of the body, or one skill that can help reshape your life. That is great and I have learned from a lot of them. Unlike those books, this one is about a woman's entire life; and how all those different pieces work to help us live longer, and more fully.The book itself is very woman-friendly and an easy read. You can hear Dr. Suzanne's voice, and it is common sense, authoritative and warm all at the same time.The complex part of the book is what it took for the author to get to the place where she could make it easy. She is both a highly trained physician, who can and does separate the helpful from the hooey, and a woman who identifies with what it is like to live in a body that comes with our unique mechanical, electrical and spiritual wiring.Normally I read books like this once and toss them. In fact, mostly I e-read them and delete them. This one already has a bunch of stickies in it, and I am very clear on ONE next step I can take (not a long list of resolutions I wont keep) to make sure I keep my heart happy so it can do the same for me.A couple of months ago, I was carted off to the emergency room in the middle of the night. I don't want to go there, or be there, again.Thanks Dr. Suzanne for helping me learn so much what I do to live in tune with my own music, so I can help increase the chances I will be dancing to other's music for a long long time.

I can't praise this book enough in all languages, I loved it, simply loved it. It teaches you so much but the main lesson I got from it was to make your heart your own best friend. This marvelous organ we take for granted all our lives is a miraculous thing but we never think that it can get sick until it's too late. I wish she had written this book when I was still a young girl, I wouldn't have taken things so hard, I wouldn't have been so intense, but it's never too late. She wrote it now and a generation of women of all ages is very grateful for it, I'm sure. What more could I say without gushing all over the place? This is surely one of the most comprehensive, enlightening and compassionate books I ever read not just about the heart but about living, loving, losing and moving on. We're so lucky that with her busy practice and life she found time to give of herself so generously with this book. Bravo Miss Steinbaum, bravissimo, take a bow, hear the applause because you really deserve it.

This an easy-to-read but straight talking book about everyone's need to take responsibility for one's own heart health, and how to do this. Since heart disease is a number one killer for both men and women, perhaps some credence should be given to the words and advice of one of America's leading cardiologists. You can do a great deal to help your heart stay healthy. This book explains the problems in heart health and how to avoid them. Although Dr. Steinbaum has a strong clinical interest in the heart problems of women, what causes these problems, how these problems manifest themselves, and how women are often mis-treated in relation to them, her sage words are equally important to be read by men. Highly recommended!

Well, it has finally been written! A book that is easy to read & to the point! Informative & creatively speaking, it is just like Dr. Steinbaum is speaking directly to you !. Emotions have such an effect on your heart? who Knew? well, i do now! I am much more aware of the input that out daily lives have on our health. I appreciate Dr. Steinbaum's holistic approach to the issue's that effect so many women & men. Thank you for sharing your expertise & knowledge! I would recommend this book to all who care & love unconditionally, because it does effect us! Thank you for Sharing your knowledge & compassion.

Dr. Steinbaum's book is a completely approachable, easy-to-understand guide for a woman to comprehend how her heart works, both physically and emotionally. The reader will feel engaged in an one-on-one conversation with Dr. Steinbaum and that she not only understands, but has empathy for, the daily lives of women and the myriad of situations we encounter. The reader will not feel "talked down to", but rather inspired to live a full and happy life.This book is geared towards women BEFORE they encounter heart problems/disease and, therefore, if you have a woman you love, of ANY AGE, be it your sister, daughter, mother, aunt, cousin, grandmother or simply YOURSELF, it is a must read. Do not wait until a problem arises! Be PROACTIVE instead of reactive!

This book is a must-read for any woman who cares about her health and body. Well-written, engaging, and informative, it details everything a woman should know. I felt inspired and rejuvenated after reading it. As she shares her own life experience, she points out that heart disease presents itself very differently in women than in men, so as women, we need a more specialized education on heart health. She includes many simple, helpful tips on how to lower stress, eat well, get enough exercise, etc...and her holistic process to heart health is so refreshing. I can't think of a better way to have spent my free time than on ME. After all heart disease is the leading killer among us.

So informative, easy to understand & has humor too!! This is a fantastic read for women in all age groups. I’ve told several friends about it, it’s the book to get if you care enough about yourself & your health.

Dr. Steinbaum's book is fantastic. My husband and I learned so much from her. God send Dr. Steinbaum to our lives and we are so grateful. She is my husband's cardiologist - we are so humbled, and are so appreciative for her knowledge and attentiveness. She really is a special and a gifted woman. She is soooooo knowledgeable and compassionate. After reading her amazing book, we are totally in awe of her everything. Buy her book and read it. It will save a life!!!!!!!!

I love this book and want to gift to my mom that needs to start taking care of her heart. However she only speaks Spanish. When will the Spanish version be available?
