Title: The HeartMath Solution falls short on hard science.
Review: The HeartMath Solution is an admirable work generated for the "self-help" audience. As a researcher in heart rate variability, I found it unfortunate that the real value of this work is lost in its self-serving style. A great deal of the research cited was generated "in-house" and provides the bulk of the scientific "validation" for the highly trade-marked and copyrighted procedures presented. Additionally, as a reader,I was very disappointed at the overt marketing content which seems to reduce the perceived value of this potentially important area of study. The HeartMath Solution falls short on hard science and, because of its self-referential style, is reduced to a very long brochure for the HeartMath Institute's follow-on commercial programs. Considering the altruistic nature of the subject, I can't believe that this is the book that HeartMath really intended to produce.
Is the review positive or negative?
