"A fascinating synthesis of ancient wisdom, modern medicine, scientific research and personal experience that proves that the human heart, not the brain, hold the secrets that link body, mind, and spirit." Pearsall's book is chucked full of amazing anecdotes that describe how the lives of heart transplant recipients changed to reflect the habits and interests of their organ donor. One example: A young Hispanic male received the heart of a medical student killed in a traffic accident. A former lover of heavy metal music, this man now loves fifties rock-and-roll (a favorite of the medical student). Also, the recipient abandoned his health-conscious vegetarian life style and began to eat meat and fatty foods after his surgery. Later he discovered that these foods were favorites of his donor. The young man suddenly began using the word "copacetic". A word his mother did not understand and had never heard before. Later, they learned that this term was often used by the medical student to signal everything's OK.
