The Healing Power of Resilience by Dr Tara Narula

The Healing Power of Resilience - A Revolutionary Health Approach

Amazon Charts #5 This Week - A science-backed approach to living well from ABC News chief medical correspondent and cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula, bridging physical and mental health to show how resilience is the key to both.

The Missing Prescription

Heart disease is the number one leading cause of death in the United States. Cardiologists commonly prescribe medication, surgery, diet, and exercise. But one critical treatment is consistently overlooked: resilience.

We need resilience to face new diagnoses, show up to appointments, take medications, recover from surgery, and stick to lifestyle changes. Dr. Narula's paradigm-shifting book connects medicine and psychology, with applications beyond heart disease to all health challenges and overall well-being.

The Resilience Response

Through decades as a board-certified cardiologist and journalist, Dr. Narula discovered what's missing in patient care: addressing mental health alongside physical health. To thrive when facing medical challenges, patients must be mentally prepared.

This realization led Dr. Narula to study landmark medical trials, interview patients, doctors, researchers, and thought leaders. The result: the "Resilience Response"—practical tools to build resilience that can mitigate stress reactions, prevent disease, promote healing, and improve quality of life.
