As advertised a short but info packed book on a wide range of health topics that everyone can use to enhance their well being. Dr. Agus shares his knowledge and insight to avoid the bad influences on your health; and there are many. He likewise offers tips and approaches to do much good and the shoulds and shouldn'ts when it comes to everything healthy. A worthwhile read that is concise and to the point.
A short beginners guide to healthy living and longevity and anti aging. This is done with hundreds of tips and ideas one on each page. Many are just common sense and this is a beginner level. Having read hundreds of health books I disagree on the Doctors take on not using vitamins.
Well-written and brief, but the advice is all mainstream, conventional, and ignoring of the complexities of health. An easy read, but not worth the trouble unless you're a smoking, overweight, alcoholic to whom almost any change would improve your health.

You'll know you have the copy I read if page 87 is already folded. I marked it for reference as the one example that made me snort aloud. Agus establishes the credibility of his data with preliminary reference to medical studies and proceeds in a matter-of-fact, common-sense tone. Then comes page 87 in the "Be Positive" chapter.
"There are many ways you can boost your positive outlook. ...All you need is a system that helps you to put even indescribable suffering into a wider context and tap into awareness of yourself." Yes, in a paragraph, that is all you need!
As I work on writing a short book myself, I will remember this passage with fondness. I'm prone to over think and over explain as I write. Thank you Dr. Agus. Your example helps me relax and realize that occasionally, summary statements are all you need.… (meer)
