The Forever Strong PLAYBOOK is a companion to the original bestseller, Forever Strong. After reading this book without reading the first one, I can honestly say, don’t do it in that order. While I could see the plan structure, I really didn’t understand the reasoning behind it. The book seemedContinue Reading
Built From Broken contains a complex explanation of how muscles (and other stuff under your skin) work, how they can be injured, and how to fix them if they are damaged. It definitely was too advanced for my knowledge base. I admit I had to skim past a lot ofContinue Reading
So you ask, what is The Hunger Crushing Combo Method? It is to eat protein, fiber and healthy fat at every meal. That sounds familiar, you comment. Yes, even the author remarks on its similarities to every macronutrient plan on earth. However, the Combo is not the best part ofContinue Reading
It’s that time of the year when everyone tries to be healthier. If losing weight is one of your resolutions, using GLP-1 medications are an effective, though expensive, way to make your goal more achievable. Enough is a well-researched book by Oprah’s doctor talking about the pros and cons ofContinue Reading
I cannot recommend Weightless highly enough. Of all the GLP-1 books I have read recently, this is the best. If you are thinking about starting a GLP-1 like Ozempic, Mounjaro or their compounded equivalent, you need to read Weightless first. It reads as if your best friend just happens toContinue Reading
The title of The Foodie Diet seems like a misnomer. I think of a foodie as someone who loves food, not supplements, which the author heavily promotes late in the book. I also expected more unusual recipes, and honestly, more of them. These recipes seemed too basic for a trueContinue Reading
In Tidying the Abyss, it’s like the author has snuck around in my house at night while I was sleeping. Otherwise, how does she know that I have an unopened mop box (she must have missed the still boxed Roomba, vacuum and generic swift jet in my garage)? She evenContinue Reading
So what is The Art of Spending Money? It is being content with what you have. It’s using your money to buy once-in-a-lifetime experiences rather than just upgrading your everyday life. It is consciously deciding that whatever you want is worth trading your time that could be spent with familyContinue Reading

Most alcohol interventions require abstaining from drinking forever. Interested in reducing your drinking but not stopping forever? Turn to Soberish. I’ve never read a book like this before so I can’t comment on its originality or innovation. However, Soberish is a good self-help guide for controlling your alcohol intake. ItContinue Reading
Multiple times per day individuals encounter The Choice Point, “the exact moment, you decide to shift your attention away from an unwanted thought that might stop you from making a conscious choice to persevere in pursuing a goal (or not). It’s that moment when you say to yourself, ‘to continueContinue Reading
How Not to Kill Yourself attempts to give people with a suicidal mindset a reason not to do it—at least not today. Overall, I think it achieves that goal. Though obvious recommendations, like call a friend or just wait one more day, are discussed, many new ideas are also included.Continue Reading
First of all, don’t make the mistake I did of thinking there is an easy answer to My Gut issues. There isn’t one within this book or any single source. This book first delves into a detailed explanation of what is happening in your gut to cause your disease. ItContinue Reading
As a voracious reader almost from birth, it comes as a surprise to me that you have to teach people how to comprehend what they read. However, since trigonometry is still a complete mystery to me, I understand that everyone has their own skills and challenges. If you teach EnglishContinue Reading
Why We Play explains why play is still necessary for adults. It includes exercises to get some short play sessions into your life. Even though I play video and mobile games every day, a few more ideas are always welcome. I particularly liked Scribble Art. Take a plain piece ofContinue Reading
