Carl Massy has managed to compact great tomes of medical and psychological knowledge as well as centuries of deep wisdom into one tight, smartly organized and approachable little book. His philosophy is simple and his keen wit and charming self-deprecating manner help to make this a quick and enjoyable read. I hardly noticed I was also learning so much about health in general and myself in particular! I am planning to give this book as a heartfelt gift to everyone I know.
