About The Book

In this paradigm-shifting book, Dr. Tara Narula bridges the gap between clinical medicine and psychology to illustrate the healing power of resilience. Using inspiring case studies, interviews with leading resilience experts, and her own personal experience, she provides a set of strategies and tools that are designed to help you cultivate a resilient mindset.

Despite advances in modern medicine, cardiovascular disease continues to be the number one cause of death in the United States. We can identify many of the traditional factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease, and now we’re adding new factors such as sleep, stress, depression, and other mental health issues. But the concept of psychological resilience is just beginning to be understood as a contributing factor to a person’s ability to prevent the onset of disease, recover from illness or trauma, and successfully move forward in life.

Dr. Tara Narula has long been fascinated by how our mindset affects our health. She, along with other leading experts in the cutting edge field of psychological resilience, believe that resilience is much like the heart—a “muscle” that can be trained and strengthened through exercise and use. In both her personal life and professional practice, she’s witnessed firsthand the transformative power of resilience in patient outcomes and in meeting all of life’s challenges. A resilient spirit, she believes, is a key factor in staying healthy—and happy—for the long run. In The Heart of Resilience, she offers you a new prescription for strengthening your own resilience as a way to tend to matters of the heart.
