“As someone who is now free of atrial fibrillation and has taken on a mission to help people with AFib regain their lives and freedom, I found Jim’s memoir authentic and inspiring.

His entrepreneurial journey while surviving AFib provides optimism and hope for others living with this life-altering condition.” —MELLANIE TRUE HILLS, Survivor, heart health expert, motivational speaker, patient advocate, and founder of StopAfib.org

“Both a universal and unique tale all at once, Unlimited Heart offers the reader the true gift of a deeply personal and vulnerable journey exemplifying the American Dream but wrapped in a package of triumph over unexpected and life-threatening health troubles.

This brave telling allows the readers to feel exactly what Kaveney feels in his heart, both physically and metaphorically, and to ride the ups and downs with him, feeling every low and celebrating every win. Ultimately, it’s Kaveney’s heart, opened wide, leading the reader through this memoir, business tome, and love story.” —AMY LABELLE, Founder and winemaker at LaBelle Winery, attorney, WSJ bestselling author, entrepreneur, professional speaker, and coach
“In this gripping memoir, Jim bares his soul as he recounts the harrowing yet ultimately triumphant saga of his battle with a rare heart condition. As a devoted father, every heartbeat carries the weight of his family’s love and his own unyielding determination combined with the ‘Kaveney Work Ethic.’ Jim invites you into the inner sanctum of his heart—both metaphorically and physically—revealing the raw emotions, the agonizing setbacks, and the miraculous moments from his formative years as a young man through his life-changing experience as a collegiate rower that defined his extraordinary journey. A testament to the power of the human spirit and the resilience of the human heart, Unlimited Heart is a stirring reminder that even in our darkest hours, the bonds of love and determination can light the way.” —ADRIAN SPRACKLEN, Director of Rowing, Mercyhurst University, Olympic rowing coach, 3x NCAA Champion, national team rower, and USA medical staff
“Unlimited Heart educated me on Jim’s story, his dreams, his fears, and his loves. His bow tie tells his colleagues he has a unique style. His story tells readers how full a life he leads. And his heart tells everyone how impactful he is and continues to be. To say this book mesmerized me fails to describe the scale of emotions while reading. From the heights of humor to the depths of sadness in a matter of sentences, Unlimited Heart proves nothing short of a rapt reading experience.” —MICHAEL HILLAN, Business owner, pharmaceutical executive, author, and coach
