From Library Journal Ornish, author of the popular Stress, Diet, and Your Heart ( LJ 1/1/83), bases his book on an extensive study that found his "Opening Your Heart" program resulted in the reversal of coronary artery blockage. He gives thorough background to his study, backing up his claims with scientific evidence, and provides case histories of people who have followed the program. In describing ways to reverse heart disease, he offers suggestions on how to control diet (with helpful recipes from noted chef Wolfgang Puck), as well as on how to quit smoking and how to exercise. Recommended for general collections.- Barbara Kormelink, Bay Medical Ctr. Lib., Bay City, Mich.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review Advance praise for Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease"Revolutionary results...By the standards of conventional medicine the impossible has happened. Dr. Ornish's work could change the lives of millions." -- Newsweek"Dr. Ornish's research offers strong scientific evidence that lifestyle changes alone can actually reverse the progression of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries. These lifestyle changes can begin to reverse even severe coronary artery disease after only one year, without the use of cholesterol-lowering drugs."-- Claude Lenfant, M.D., director, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health"This is more than a book on reversing heart disease; it is a powerful and wise prescription for opening the heart in its deepest sense. Dr. Ornish's humanity, wit and integrity shine through on every page, affirming the best of what medicine has to offer. You don't have to have heart disease to be healed through this extraordinary book and program."-- Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind"In his groundbreaking book, Dr. Dean Ornish demonstrates that even severe coronary heart disease can be reversed. He shows us that when we begin healing our lives, then our hearts begin to heal as well. Dr. Ornish shows us what we are all capable of in this exciting new book. I cannot recommend it highly enough."-- Bernard S. Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine & Miracles"Dr. Ornish's book will be good news for many patients with severe coronary heart disease. As one of his earliest mentors, I am very proud of Dr. Ornish's achievements."-- Antonio M. Gotto, Jr., M.D., president, American Heart Association (1984)"Whether or not you think you'll ever be concerned about your heart, this is likely to be the most useful book about health you'll read this year, maybe ever." -- John Poppy, Esquire"This is an epochal book. It sets a new standard in our understanding of heart disease, and it is the template against which all other books on any disease whatsoever should be judged. For the purity of the science on which it rests, and for the majesty of its spiritual wisdom, this book has no equal in the literature of medicine and health."-- Larry Dossey, M.D., author, Space, Time and Medicine and Recovering the Soul See all Editorial Reviews

从编排和设计的角度来看,这本书的设计者显然也花了不少心思。它不是那种厚重到让人望而生畏的医学参考书,相反,它的开本适中,版面设计疏密有致,阅读起来非常舒适。那些关键的数据图表和流程图,被放置得恰到好处,它们并非随意插入,而是作为对文字描述的有力补充和视觉锚点。我特别留意到作者对“渐进式改变”的强调,这体现在书籍的章节安排上:从最基础的概念导入,到逐步增加干预的强度和复杂性,整个学习曲线设计得非常平缓,几乎不会让读者产生“跟不上”的挫败感。这种对读者心理接受度的细致考量,让阅读过程变成了一种陪伴和赋能,而不是一种压迫。每一次翻页,都像是在解开一个新的谜题,而且每解开一个,都能立刻看到对自己生活产生积极影响的潜能,这种即时的反馈机制,极大地增强了我的阅读动力。
评分真正让人印象深刻的是,这本书所传递出的那种坚定不移的乐观主义精神。尽管主题是关于“逆转”一种严重的慢性病,但整本书的基调却是积极向上,充满了希望的。作者似乎在用他所有的专业知识和人生经验来向读者保证:改变是可能的,而且这条路并非布满荆棘,只要方法得当,生活质量不仅不会下降,反而会迎来一个更高维度的提升。书中穿插的那些成功案例的简短叙述,虽然没有过多渲染戏剧性,但那种朴实的、关于普通人如何通过坚持而重获健康的故事,比任何华丽的承诺都更具说服力。它成功地将“治疗”的概念从被动的接受转变为主动的创造,让读者从一个病患的角色中抽离出来,转而成为自己健康旅程的积极设计者和执行者。这种赋权感,是任何药物或手术都无法替代的,这也是我推荐这本书给身边所有关注长期健康的人们的核心原因。
评分这本书在心理层面的探讨,是许多同类健康书籍常常缺失的维度,也是我个人认为它价值最高的几部分之一。它没有将心脏健康问题仅仅归结为血脂高或血压高那么简单,而是将压力、情绪、人际关系乃至精神状态都纳入了考量范围,构建了一个更全面的人体系统模型。作者在描述如何管理日常压力时,所采用的语气非常接地气,不像某些心灵鸡汤那样空洞,而是提供了一套可操作的“减压工具箱”。特别是他关于“正念”和“专注力”的练习介绍,极其简洁明了,即使是像我这种对冥想一窍不通的“野生读者”,也能迅速上手。我尝试了书中建议的几个短时放松练习,它们被巧妙地设计在日常生活的间隙中,不需要特地挤出大块时间,却能在短时间内有效地“重置”我的神经系统。这种将心理健康与生理健康紧密编织在一起的处理方式,让我感觉自己仿佛在进行一场从内而外的彻底修复,而不仅仅是在修补某一块受损的器官。
评分初读时,我差点因为其详尽的食谱部分而感到有些畏惧,心想,这难道是要我变成一个全职厨师吗?但当我真正开始尝试其中的几款配方时,那种顾虑立刻烟消云散了。作者似乎深谙现代人对“好吃”和“方便”的渴望,他提供的食谱,虽然严格遵循了特定的营养原则,但味道上却远超我的预期。我尤其喜欢他对食材替代方案的细致说明,这对于那些生活在不同地区、难以获取特定“健康”食材的人来说,简直是雪中送炭。更重要的是,他强调的不是一味地“禁止”和“剥夺”,而是在既有限制的前提下,最大化地发掘食物本身的潜力和风味。比如,他介绍的那几款用香料和天然酸味剂来提升口感的技巧,简直是厨房里的“魔法”。我甚至发现,我以前因为担心“不健康”而忽略掉的那些颜色鲜艳、充满异域风味的蔬菜和豆类,在这些食谱的引导下,竟然成了餐桌上的主角。这让我对“限制性饮食”的偏见彻底瓦解了,原来健康餐也可以如此充满惊喜和层次感。
评分这本关于心脏病的指南,我本来是抱着试一试的心态翻开的,毕竟市面上关于健康和饮食的书籍多如牛毛,大部分都是老生常谈,让人听了打瞌睡。然而,这本书的叙事方式,倒真有点意思。它没有那种居高临下的医学说教腔调,反而像是一位经验丰富的老朋友,坐在你对面,娓娓道来他多年观察到的现象和总结出的规律。尤其是在谈到生活方式干预的细节时,那种对具体操作的把控力,让人感觉作者是真正沉浸在实践中的人,而不是躲在象牙塔里写理论的学者。我特别欣赏它对“为什么”的解释,不仅仅是告诉你“该做什么”,更深入地剖析了背后的生理机制,虽然涉及到一些复杂的生物化学概念,但作者的笔法总是能巧妙地将其转化为易于理解的日常语言。举个例子,当谈到脂肪和胆固醇的关系时,他没有简单地用“好”与“坏”来标签化,而是通过一系列生动的比喻,描绘出血管内壁发生的微观动态变化,这使得读者在接纳新知识的同时,也产生了一种强烈的“原来如此”的顿悟感。这种由内而外的理解,才是让读者愿意长期坚持下去的根本动力,远比生硬的规定有效得多。
