This Book May Save Your Life is a pithy, sensible, and humorous book of health advice written and curated by Dr. Karan Rajan. Released 9th Jan 2024 from Penguin Random House on their Rodale Books imprint, it's 336 pages and is available in hardcover, paperback, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links throughout.
The author has a knack for relating relatively complex physiological and biological concepts in an accessible manner. The chapters are arranged roughly by system. He discusses the digestive system, brain and neurology, heart, lungs, skeleton, the physical senses (each in its own chapter), reproductive system, sleep (fascinating content here), the immune system, and the end of life.
There is a scientifically correct bibliography and links lists which will give interested readers many hours of further reading.
Four stars. This is not the -only- book on which readers should rely, but it could maintain most reader's interest long enough to be a valuable (and entertaining) resource with tips and information which actually could make a difference in their understanding of how their bodies work (and how to know when something is wrong).
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
