Packed with stuff I never knew and now I do, about brain food,
detox, knuckle cracking, procrastination, swearing etc etc, things
we ought to be doing and, much more important, things there's no
point in doing. You can live better, if you want to, or you can
just know more about how you could - not ought to - live better if
you want to. And all in clear, accessible English.
*Matthew Fort, food writer and judge on The Great British Menu*
This well-researched guide lifts the lid on so many myths and makes
for a marvellous eye-opening read.
