The book, Open Heart is a doctor’s account of going from almost dead after a triple bypass surgery at age 61 to feats of herculean strength—the kind that would be daunting even for those far younger than him.
Open Heart is a laudable book that simultaneously falls into many genres: motivational, health, fitness, holistic healing (mind-body-spirit, diet, lifestyle) and even a bit of nature and environment. All these themes come together in an effective and cohesive whole as Taher first wins you over with well-chosen narratives of his many experiences of uncommon adventures, and then lays out a “how to” manual of diet and lifestyle changes backed soundly by scientific citations as well as his own compelling results.
Open Heart, a gripping page-turner, offers a massive dose of inspiration to those who may feel their life has come to naught on account of crippling illnesses.
