HeartMath, what a beautiful association - very much recommended by my teachers at last year's yoga retreat in France. I love how science and spirituality are moving into "coherence"!
I'm now quite inspired now to read Karl Pribram, Rupert Sheldrake, and David Bohm. Oh, and my beloved "The Cosmic Serpent" by Jeremy Narby, who views information/knowledge to be intrinsic to light, whereas here it is said to be electromagnetic.
Also, I find it interesting that the electromagnetic field (in 3D) of the heart (or anything) looks pretty much exactly like my drawing of "the universe" after my last mushroom trip.

Common knowledge puts the heart as the seat of life. And while the brain has increasingly become overwhelmingly important, the heart was relegated as a glorified blood pump.
Recent and in-depth research suggests that the heart serves as more than a pump. There is a communication between the heart and the brain and the heart can influence the brain in certain key instances and areas.
It will take more than a single read to fully appreciate the scope of the research contained within this book.

It provides some very valuable research results into common sense knowledge we have that the heart matters the most in everything we deal with in life, that we can sense everyone and and everything around us with our hearts, and that global change starts with the individual changing his/her level of wholeness within himself/ herself.
A very thorough work putting very different research into a comprehensive book.
