Feel Better In 5: Your Daily Plan to Feel Great for Life

This book will make you lazy

Typically this type of information can be found in his podcasts and instagram posts. Not really captivating or novel.

Many wellness books are like "it's simple! Just stop eating sugar and work out all the time and you can feel better!" Although I love reading those books, I rarely am able to put them into practice. Dr Rangan Chatterjee on the other hand asks you to commit to just three five-minute activities a day, which is actually doable for basically everyone. I loved how aesthetically pleasing this book was too. I would highly recommend it!

Veramente utile; esercizi pratici (da inserire nelle routine quotidiane) che aiutano tutti gli aspetti della persona

I've read a few of the authors previous books. They are written in an easy to read not very technical language. Thus there isn't anything in general that surprised me, or that I didn't already know. What I found very useful were the ideas on HOW to implement simple changes into my life. The latest of his books clearly shows how his ideas have developed. Basically he has created a number of "health snacks" along the various dimensions of health, such as diet, stress, exercise, sleep.... These simple routines take 5 minutes, and you can pick the ones that appeal to you. I've started recommending this book for people who want to do SOMETHING but are not yet motivated enough to work very hard to figure out what they should do. I think of the 20-30 recent books I've read on health/fitness this is the single best one for people to begin with. I know from my journey to much better fitness (I thought I was fit before!) that it takes some time an effort to find a routine that helps with your specific issues, is motivating enough, and shows progress. If you take the time to listen to the authors podcast, you'll learn a lot while being entertained. Not only does the book contain sound advice, it's well presented, illustration and graphics are nicely done. It's a quality printed book. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to improve their health or maintain their health. Unless you are already doing a multi dimensional program for diet, exercise, stress, sleep etc... this is a useful guide to self improvement.

A very easy, action oriented, read. The book remind us that small repeated healthy habits have the same powerful positive effect to improve our health as the small repetitive negative habits have to destroy it. I.e. improving our health is not only in our own hands but it's also very achievable if we aim small and are consistent. Note: the suggested habits are all fully scientifically proved but they're explained in a simple matter. If you are curious about the science behind, reference is made to Rangan's podcasts covering them.
