Body Organs

The changes accelerate: grief that arrives without cause, a hunger that is not his, dreams of kitchens and staircases he has never known. And always, the same melody rising inside him, carrying the memory of a stranger’s life. ...

Everywhere we look, whether on TV or in a magazine, we're confronted with the same message. You need to be thinner, you need to be on a diet, you need to take so-called 'fat burning' supplements. But should this be accepted wisdom? What do we know about the fat that we would like to lose rather than embrace? No other organ - yes, fat is an organ - has so many prejudicial attitudes towards it with people having such limited knowledge about it.

The heart is our most important organ. Yet despite that, it has not changed since the appearance of Homo sapiens 300,000 years ago. It is also our most mysterious.

Full of compelling patient stories, The Source of All Things ends with a plea: that we recognize the heart's wisdom and adopt a more heart-centered way of living, leading to greater health and more joy.
