Interesting read. I have previously enjoyed Dr. Sears baby books. There was a lot of good practical advice and a few things I need to try.

This book is a very good read if you are just beginning on a healthy lifestyle journey. Dr Sears lays out information in a very clear way that allows you to be able to follow along and get in good habits.

Thank you BenBella Books and Netgalley for this ARC.

I have mixed thoughts on this book so I rate it 3.5 stars.

The premise of the book is good, having a 5 Step Program to wellness. There is nothing new in these five steps, we all know we need to eat better, exercise consistently, decrease stress etc. The information in the book was laid out well and most of what I read was a good recap from previous material or new to me.

I enjoyed some sections a lot more than others, I particularly liked the areas on disease and found the exercise section contained motivating ideas. I was less taken by the sections on diet as I prefer to eat a well rounded, balanced diet rather than be confused by things I see as fads such as routinely drinking smoothies for meals.

Thank you for this ARC in return of my honest review.

Disappeared before I could download so I was never allowed the opportunity to even read the book. Disappointing!

This book had useful information that wasn't new to me, but I enjoyed Dr. Sears' format. It was interactive and made me want to do more. The price of the supplements gave me pause. I'm not a fan of authors (MDs or otherwise) pushing their own products as part of their "program." All in all it was a decent book.

I'm unsure of the target market for this book, but it felt like a late-night diet infomercial with lots of personal stories and zero science.

Formatting of this book makes it unreadable on Kindle. When I opened it on Adobe reader, suddenly I understood why - an oft-inserted image of a doctor providing a cutesy rhyming synopsis of the information shared.

Did I enjoy this? Nope. Perhaps it helps readers remember key points, but there were so many, so often, I felt like I was reading a kid's book.

I'm sure there are nuggets of wisdom and a functional way of eating that will help folks find wellness, but I couldn't get through this to find them.

This book was not what I expected. It seemed too commercialized and gimmicky for me to take this seriously.

Since I chose not to complete this book, I agree to not publish negative opinions of this book on Goodreads, Amazon, our library website, or any other form of print/social media.

Thank you for the opportunity I was given to read this book.

The Dr. Sears T5 Wellness Plan seems to be a great programme for someone who wants to take charge of their life and health. There is nothing new that has not been spoken about by doctors, but it does give you all the information in a very organized and easy to follow way. I did enjoy going through it and reminding myself of different things to do to become healthier. Dr. Sears has also included great tips to make this journey easier for yourself.

There isn't a whole lot of new information here, but it's packaged in an updated format for a new generation. It definitely speaks to younger folks, explaining WHY they need to make healthy choices now, and I think it does this very well. Most of this is common sense : eat right, exercise, don't stress. It provides illustrations and visual mnemonics, as well as a website for videos and further information, in a way that appeals to those under middle age.
