A philosophical treatise on the heart, which is basically a cardiac surgeon learning to see things more holistically and how that makes him a better doctor. It's kind of boring honestly; the fact that this guy was not in touch with his emotions and needed to learn about empathy as an adult strikes me as sad, although I guess it was meant to be inspirational. But it's not badly written and the medical stuff is compelling.

I received this book free from the publisher for review.
