Heart: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Heroic Organ

When Borstel wrote this, he was studying to be a cardiologist. This book is a meditation on his studies, written in an accessible and at times comedic way. He explains the science of the heart in understandable terms, and after explaining certain functions of the heart, he gives tips on how to help one's heart perform better. The heart is connected to everything we do, and we have to treat it right if we are to live long and healthy lives, and Borstel does a good job of stressing the importance of keeping our heart in good shape and the different ways we can go about doing so.
