A revolutionary, science-backed approach to living well from ABC News chief medical correspondent and cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula, that bridges the gap between our physical and mental health to show how resilience is the key to both.
As the number one leading cause of death in the United States, heart disease has several common prescriptions from cardiologists, such as medication, surgery, diet, and exercise. There is, however, one treatment that is consistently overlooked: resilience. We need resilience to get us to face new diagnoses, to show up to doctorâs appointments, to take those medications, to make it through surgery (and to recover from it), and to stick to that diet or new workout plan.
Thatâs where this paradigm-shifting book comes in, connecting the worlds of medicine and psychology. Its application goes beyond heart disease to other difficult diagnoses and traumatic health events, and overall well-being.
Over the course of her decades-long career as a board-certified cardiologist and journalist, Dr. Narula noticed there was something missing in patient care: the need to address mental health alongside physical health. To thrive when faced with a medical challenge, a patient must be mentally prepared to face it. This realization transformed Dr. Narulaâs career and led her down an eye-opening path, studying landmark medical trials and the latest advancements in the field as well as interviewing patients, doctors, researchers, and thought leaders.
The Healing Power of Resilience is the culmination of this work, offering practical tools to build your resilience, which Dr. Narula calls the âResilience Response.â Challenging situations can lead to a stress reaction in the body. Learning to practice the âResilience Responseâ when that happens can mitigate it, and therefore help prevent disease, promote healing, and improve quality of life. This set of tools leads you to the following: an acceptance of your situation; a flexible mindset; a change in lifestyle; an ability to face fears; a pursuit of purpose; a hopeful outlook on the future; a commitment to seeking connection; embracing a love of self and others. Through scientific research, pioneering medical journalism, and personal stories, this book presents a revolutionary new approach to living wellâwhether you're facing a health challenge or simply striving for a healthier life at any age.
