Reviews

[Mateusz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book easy to read with many general tips which are good and easy to implement.
However there were couple of points where author says "best way" to keep health whereas there are other ways to do even better.

channeling Oprah's book club for athletes at twice the rules it needs - since some of them repeat themselves

[Kay Smoljak · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was extremely skeptical about this book, but decided to give it a go anyway. Of the 100 common sense items, I was already aware of all but one or two of them.

The author doesn't assume he's telling you something new, however. It's easy to read and understand and written in a non-judgemental way. As I was reading, I made myself notes on 17 items to follow up on improving in my own life.

Sometimes you just need a reminder of the "whys".

[Moira Shepard · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love practical, do-able, science-based how-to tips about how to feel better and look better. This easy-to-read book fills the bill, with a friendly tone and notes of humor as additional bonuses. Well done!

[Stacey Hatfield · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is a general overview of the things that you can do to live a long and healthy life. It is basically commonsense.

I have this rating because the book gives you some ideas as to what to do. It is all too easy to get confused.

[Koban · Rating 5 out of 5]

I learnt a lot of facts about how the body and the brain works (and why). It allowed me to look at things that I usually wouldn't think about and rather than just focusing on exercise and diet, it also included things to improve your mental health and other health issues too. 100% recommend.

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

A few tips that were new to me and that I would like to follow. A few tips were not relevant, but many more were good reminders of what I want to be more diligent about doing. All in all, this was a helpful book,

[Diana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nothing earth-shattering but some good tips, reminders, and ideas for staying physically and mentally healthy!

[EMP · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mostly stuff you've heard over and over. I wouldn't recommend the book to anyone unless they took completely horrible care of themselves.

[Sue Sayer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Was surprisingly good!

[J Crossley · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an overall primer for improving your health. I was aware of most of the tips, but someone else may be educated by the book.

[Maggie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 100 things were written in such nice bite size pieces that it was easy to pick it up and read over time. It was informative and encouraging.

[Sooah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nice reminders

Clearly written without judgements and redundancy. Its nice to read few pages now and then to remind yourself. I just hope I can get myself to follow.

[Melanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great advice

Great compilation of really useful information. Presented in easy to digest bites. Not overwhelmed with too much info that you forget half of it.

[Rich Leighton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some great tips, lots of really good tips, some ok tips. Overall a very good book written in a way that's easy to pick up and read a few tips a day. Definitely worth checking out.

[Hayleigh Marie Whitelock · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple, informative read.

[Darren-lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

[Virginia Way · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some good tips to get and stay healthy. Some I already knew but it was good to have the reasons why explained. It made me more likely to make the changes

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Toegankelijk boekje met haalbare tips. Weinig nieuwe informatie, maar een goede reminder om hier en daar wat zaken (opnieuw) aan/vast te pakken.

[Tamara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nothing new

This book is fine for what it is - I think all the advice is solid and factual, but it reads like a very lengthy AARP magazine article.

[Carrie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nothing new here.

[Liannis · Rating 3 out of 5]

What it says on the tin. A couple of ideas I hadn't expected, but most of them I did.

[Karel Petrak · Rating 1 out of 5]

A list of suggestions unsupported by any evidence

The book offers a list of popular and general suggestions without providing any supporting evidence. This is very weak and hence unconvincing. I give it just ONE STAR.

[Dawn H. · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great blend of what I consider well-known advice and health tips in an easy to read format with clear explanations for following the recommendations. Definitely worth a look if you need these reminders to live a healthier life.

[Beautifulday4makeup The-book-and-Me · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received this ebook in exchange for an honest review on Netgalley.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my life. Therefor this book seems like a handy thing. It is always a fun thing to apply easy changes to improve your life. A lot of tips I already knew, but some of them were new. I liked gaining knowledge on it. I liked the book, but I didn't love it.

[Jean · Rating 5 out of 5]

We already have heard many of the 100 suggestions contained in this book, but exposure to some again is worthwhile. A few new facts were gleaned, and the author's sense of humor is appreciated. No footnotes or citations to back up claims although most concepts are mainstream and not radical.
