Synopsis

The only book to reveal the true science behind your every daily activity - exploding myths and providing authoritative take-away advice.

Explore the science behind your daily living habits and make your day healthier, happier, and more productive.

Many of the activities we take for granted are in fact contrary to a healthy lifestyle. In this groundbreaking audiobook, long-held beliefs are exploded by new science: drinking eight glasses a day is too much; breakfast isn't the most important meal of the day; smartphones are not making us all depressed.

Bringing to bear the latest research in psychology, nutrition, biology, and physics, Dr Stuart Farrimond unearths the facts behind the fads, and provides take-away advice on every area of our lives - and all delivered in Dr Stu's trademark style; approachable, authoritative, and above all, entertaining.

Life Your Best Life debunks pseudo-science and delivers only the facts. One day - one body - over 200 examples of science in action.

Goodreads review by Sophy on August 20, 2021

Sort of a "pop quiz" style of book with 219 questions answered such as "Why can't I wake up in the mornings"? or "Should I wait an hour before having my morning coffee"?!! Ironically the author states at the beginning of the book that these sort of questions appear in magazines and the likes of Buzz......more

An excellent choice for the first book of the year, I think. Let's bash those misconceptions and out-and-out lies about what leads to our best life with the greatest tool there is, science.

Graficky nádherne spracovaná kniha. Dobrý formát, logické roztriedenie, zaujímavé témy. Vhodná skôr pre ľudí, ktorí NIE sú veľkí fanúšikovia populárno-náučnej literatúry alebo pre takých, ktorí sa v tejto oblasti ešte len rozbiehajú. Dozvedia sa mnoho informácií o živote v prehľadných kapitolách na......more

Goodreads review by Milan on June 20, 2022

Nenáročné, inšpiratívne a zábavné čítanie. Kniha, ktorú si dáte na nočný stolík a večer si prečítate pár kapitol, aby sme sa dozvedeli napríklad to, prečo a ako nám prospieva objímanie...prečo sa nám niektorí ľudia páčia a iní nie...či existuje najlepší čas na sex...alebo ako mám vedieť, koľko spánk......more
