I rarely read books about health, and this one ticked a lot of boxes for me. There were elements of humour scattered throughout, lots of general health advice, do’s and dont’s about how to live a better life. There was also a nice sequence to it, in that it visited all the organs of the body and provided information in the form of a consumable story for non-medical audience. 

The “Save Yourself” and “Health Hacks” sections did not have any outlandish and unproven health advice. But true to the author’s tone, in most cases there aren’t any shortcuts to getting healthier. There are a bunch of things that one must do right, and for a prolonged period of time. My biggest takeaway is to start exercising more (even if it’s just a 30 minute walk daily). 

Because I watch Dr. Karan’s videos on YouTube, I was reading the book in his voice, in my head for most parts of it, which was a nice touch. Definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to make proven general non-outlandish changes to their lifestyle.
