Everyone Should Read This Book
Bob takes you on his journey from beginning to end, describing his fears and triumphs along the way.It is an honest, thought-provoking, and enjoyable read.There is much to be learned by reading Bob's story.It made me think, and continues to make me think, about my own life. Bob Benson's book is thought provoking...
Bob Benson's book 100 MPH With My Hair on Fire was a quick and enjoyable read,yet very thought provoking.The book is a narrative discussion about how his drive to succeed in the business world often came at the expense of his health and time with family. A health crisis forces him to reflect on his lifestyle,priorities and spirituality. The story he tells should strike a cord with many of us.He is the typical white collar executive striving for the "good life." Sound familiar?Mr. Benson's style is brutally honest and heartfelt. The book uses humor and a quick wit to temper the very serious topic of facing your mortality at a young age.He beat the odds and learned some valuable life lessons. Great book if you're a Type "A"
Engaging narrative and thoughts of a 36 year old corporate executive and family man who survived a heart attack caused by his lifestyle.It hits home as he describes how, during treatment, his faith and family life evolve to the proper perspective.Read more

Solid Solution!
I bought this book a little over a month ago.At first I thought it was going to be yet another fad book.Another so-called doctor jumping on the diet bandwagon.I went ahead and picked it up because it was the most affordable one on the rack.I was astounded by the level of effort and expertise that went into it's writing.The authors aren't trying to sell you a diet.Their point is to educate the public on the importance of living healthy, instead of merely trying to shed pounds.All in all I think it's a great buy.I learned a lot and am truly a changed person as a result of it.

Packed with information
This book I thought was going to be hokey, but it is packed with information on what grapefruit can do for you.It has a ton of concrete scientific information.The authors deliver the goods with a very readable book, talking about themselves and their "downhome" lifestyles.I wish it went further in the recommendations on diet, but on the otherhand, they are not trying to support a particular diet, just tell you to add grapefruit to whatever diet or lifestyle you are in to.I strongly recommend getting this book for anyone interested in improving their health. ...

Awakening Your Heart
We need a new science, one that not just cares for the body or to the mind but to the two together, as inseparable parts of the person. The lack of information about emotional stress and the body means that medication is often prescribed in lieu of other treatments. Children and adults are given major medications for an array of syndromes and their symptoms such as chest pain, back aches, neck pain, weakness in limbs and upset stomachs, which can often be successfully treated without medication, particularly with early intervention.
A Physical and Mental Rebirth
This book has given me a lot.A whole hell of a lot.Foremost being the knowledge I need to repair and heal my heart.Smoking two and a half packs a day for 35 years left me with a shriveled and blackened pump and this book has given me the tips I require to repair it.God knows I never pictured myself a health nut, my weight topped 400 lbs by the time I turned 30, but this book gave me the spark needed to repair my ultimate valve.It seemes like every night I would find myself throwing back the last drops of a handle of popov, but this book HAS ALTERED MY DOME.So go out and get this book if you are really committed to cardiac health, youll be happy you did.

A 'must' for any woman concerned about heart health
The price tag is hefty for a standard-sized 8.5x11 paperback workbook, but any concerned about women's health and heart disease must take a look. It identifies the different risk factors and symptoms involved in women's heart health, packs in tips on how to lose weight (tested tips: the author lost 85 pounds with these secrets), and reveals how to get the tests and treatments unique to the female body. Charts and case histories appear in boxed, easily-noted pages of detail which succeed in breaking up test and enhancing visuals. A 'must' for any woman concerned about heart health.

Just buy this book!
Forget the miracle pills and diets and live longer!! Dr. Neal Pinckney's book makes it easy to understand why many of us are overweight and have health problems. There are no secrets here, just the truth about living well.

Great Book
This is a fantastic book written in a very informative manner. The recipes are good too. What I thought was most interesting is how the author explains how heart disease develops... the typical American diet startsbuilding plaque on the artery walls as early as the teen years! You will besurprised when you read this book and then you will understand why heartdisease is such a big problem in America. The diet in this book is the bestdiet I have come accross, not being able to easily loose weight myself. Butthis diet does it without hunger. I can't say enough about this advice. Ithas changed my life and the way I look at my health. I no longer feel likeI am a ticking time bomb that will eventually need a coronary bypassoperation ... an operation that has become very routine in America.

heart disease?Read this book to reverse it
Pinckney's book is easy to read and full of information and recipes. I teach aerobic exercise, and this is the ONLY book I recommend to my clients. A good book for those who want to learn to eat well but don't have much time for reading. ... Read more
