This is not so much a book as a series of infographics. If you like to consume information that way, you may enjoy this book. The information is useful, and written in a clear and entertaining style.

Unfortunately, the ebook is almost impossible to read on a phone. I had to continually rotate the image and zoom in on different parts of it in order to read the text. Also, the ebook is not set up for text-to-speech. If you rely on text-to-speech, there's an audiobook version.

This would have been a five-star book for me based on the content, if it hadn't been so difficult to read. It's easier to read on a tablet, but a good deal of zooming is still required. The only comfortable way to read the ebook is on a computer. I spend enough of my time sitting at a computer—I prefer to read on a mobile device.

I received an ARC from NetGalley, and this is my honest review. I also downloaded a sample of the published version of the ebook and had just as much difficulty as with the ARC.

This was a really interesting book and very unique. I enjoyed learning various tidbits about the human body and our psychology in order to get the most out of what we do.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Live Your Best Life.

I loved this book!

The author takes the most popular myths and long held beliefs about life, health and nutrition and tells readers the nitty-gritty, just the facts here, ma'am.

Dr. Farrimond offers valuable advice and facts in all aspects of healthy and productive living, even more necessary during this pandemic year.

The illustrations and graphs are great; the right visuals can bring to life the facts being told and the illustrations accomplish that here.

I highly recommend Live Your Best Life!

I love love loved this book. This book is chock full of fantastic information on when it's best time to sleep, whether vitamins are helpful, what you should eat, what time you should exercise and so, so much more. I loved every single page.

I kept quoting so much of this to my family. How lunch is the tastiest meal, how you should nap between 1-3pm, how you're most productive in the morning, how entering a new room tells the brain to start fresh, how keeping a diary improves your memory (knew it!) and on and on.

This book is beautifully illustrated which makes it a joy to read but it's the content that shines. I loved every single page of it. If you like ways to improve your day and you like science, you will love it too!!

with gratitude to DK and netgalley for an advanced copy in return for an honest review.
