High blood pressure is a national epidemic. It’s a silent killer, a dangerous condition that affects one in four Americans, most of whom have no idea they are at risk for higher rates of heart disease, stroke, and other life-threatening problems. Conventional treatments for hypertension involve drugs, and these can have considerable side effects and may not be ultimately succeed in getting those numbers down. Fortunately there are many things that people with hypertension can do to reverse the condition and improve their health. The researchers at the renowned HeartMath Institute have researched techniques for managing stress and hypertension for more than fifteen years. Now, at last, their highly effective techniques for regulating blood pressure safely and effectively are available to readers in this simple and easy-to use format. Using a series of unique techniques like the Freeze Frame and the Heart Lock-In, this book allows you to literally regulate your blood pressure at the source—the heart level—and reduce the stress that causes your high blood pressure. In as little as ninety days, you can "reset" your baroreceptive systems and lower blood pressure levels. The approach is drug-free safe, effective, and clinically validated.

this book presents some interesting concepts in a well written manner. It is a good primer for someone looking to make some practical lifestyle changes to deal with hypertension. It also gives pause for thought on how we deal with the stresses and joys in our daily lives.
A good, quick read.

This is just another "bandwagon" to already known ways to reduce blood pressure.
The biofeedback works -- but is very expensive.
The research used was limited to justify the "sales" of products not necessary to reduce blood pressure. They did not tell the entire story. Very incomplete.
I know this from personal experience.
I was disappointed in this book.

...written in an understandable and interesting style, this book explains breathwork in a modern way with modern research. I was recommended the HeartMath technique by my dentist to reduce my parasympathetic response so my major dentalwork would heal better. HeartMath techniques effect the whole body and offer those who suffer from staying in their "flight or fight" nervous system a way to easily access their "feed and breed" one more often.

Who would have guessed that an author, in such a small book, could write as much about how your body works and provide the inspiration to make a live change - Dr. Bruce Wilson did it!! I bought 12 books to pass on to people I care about!!
