I had read good things about this book so purchased the Kindle version. I'm sure in print it looks very colourful and engaging but the kindle version is just awful. The writing is too small so you have to zoom in and then move around the page, which is very clunky. There are lots of info graphics which you have to zoom into and move around the page to see. I gave up after about 5 minutes as it is a truly awful user experience and the first time I have come across this on the Kindle.
I have given up and requested a refund as it is unreadable. Buy the book by all means just don't waste your time or money on the Kindle version.

I preordered this book not really knowing what to expect and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a very well written, easy to digest myth busting book of facts. It really gets you thinking and if you would like to make positive changes to your life this is the book for you. Each page is a different topic. I really enjoyed reading this book. It will make a great gift for friends and family in the future.

A "celebration of life" and a terrific read - so informative and helpful!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2021
There are so many questions in daily life that we never quite manage to find the answers to, yet ponder endlessly. What's best to eat for breakfast? Why can I not resist sweet treats? What causes road rage? How much water is the right amount to drink each day? Is an afternoon nap ever a good idea? And is sleep really that important?Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2021
These questions, and so many more (219, to be precise!) are answered by Dr Stu Farrimond in the engaging, informative yet also highly accessible and entertaining style that readers of his past books and popular science blog have come to expect. And if this is your first encounter with the author, don't be at all concerned by the "science" part of the title: as he explains in the foreword, science gives richness and meaning to our daily lives, but it doesn't have to be shrouded in jargon and mumbo-jumbo.
This fantastic book guides readers through all aspects of daily life, broken down into morning, afternoon, evening and night, to help all of us make positive choices to help our sleep, work, diet, rest, relationship and exercise patterns. Supported by colourful infographics, quotes and bitesize information throughout, it's a swift page-turner that also provides plenty of opportunities to delve much deeper.
