Yevgeniy Chazov, one of the most respected cardiologists of the 20th century, lived 92 years without major illness, without surrendering to fatigue, and without bitterness toward life.
His secret, he often said, was not hidden in medicine, diets, or discipline — but in the art of living in harmonywith oneself and one’s surroundings.
Chazov had spent a lifetime listening to hearts — both literally and figuratively. And what he discovered was that health begins not in the body, but in the state of the soul.
His philosophy of well-being was simple yet profound: peace, forgiveness, honesty, and purpose.

“The television.”
