In her conventional medical training, Dr Mimi Guarneri was taught to view the heart as an isolated organ, a mechanical pump that can be regulated, bypassed or transplanted. Yet, through her patients, she came to realise that the heart is a much more complex organ, at the centre of our intelligence, decision-making power and memory, and that its healing can start with human connection, not surgery. In The Heart Speaks Dr Guarneri shows how the heart can be ‘broken' as much by emotions such as loneliness and depression as by conventionally recognised causes of disease. And so, its ‘mending' can have much more to do with healing a mind and soul than genetics and nutrition. Listen and learn from your heart, and come to know how to truly look after it.
