Summary: Practical and straight-forward
Comment: Okay. Barnard is NOT a German living is South Africa as the Amazon review by "Publishers Weekly" wrongly states. Chris Barnard was born and bred in South Africa and lived there most of his life - though he did spend some years overseas. Barnard died earlier this year (2001), apparantly from an asthma attack.

I have just finished this book. Not completely what I expected, but quite useful nevertheless. I expected a sermon on diet and cholestrol, but the book is in fact much more. It covers a range of lifestyle strategies, such as avoiding diets, eating the right fats, drinking red wine, laughing and having fun, socialising, avoiding stress, activity and exercise, and enjoying sex.

The book is easy to read, and medical jargon is hard to come by. It is practical and straight-forward. I guess a lot of the advice is common sense, but sometimes one needs to have these points reinforced. Barnard reckons that he could have saved more people by educating them about lifestyle than by doing heart transplants. A point well worth considering.
