Even though it’s from 1984, I learned a bunch of (alarming) things about stress and heart health.

Helpful book that I read years ago and it changed my life. Re-read it again and am going to pass it on to other friends.

Dr Eliot provided the information I needed to resume my life after a close call with my heart. I'm grateful for his testimony and his prescription.

Dr. Eliot teaches the reader how to make stress work for you and not against you. He really helps you to understand stress and what it creates in the body, and then teaches you how to manage it. Very informative book!
