I like Tim Ferris resources because this guy as he puts it is a 'data junkie'. This translates to someone who tests out scientific theories and hypothesis against reality, using himself as the experiment.
He then shares what works, why and what doesn't or can be short cut.

I have recommended this book to several people. So helpful and easy to follow

Great book

Didn't learn much that's outside of fairly mainstream fitness/ health ideas here. What I did learn was often so obscure/ complex to implement that I don't think it's practical advice for most people to follow. With that said, still enjoy Ferris from a 'concepts' perspective (e.g. Pareto's principle and its application).

Solid, Not Surprising

This book has some interesting ideas but the guy acknowledges he's not a medical professional or scientist, and there's not much in the way of testing/validation. Still, everyone's different and there might be something for you in here, although some ideas are quite extreme and impractical.
