Some OK ideas mixed with blatant scientific errors

Some good thoughts how to get most out of life; stay fit, eat better, get more sleep. Lots of mystic nonsense about chi and some blatantly false "science" from someone that doesn't understand the words he is using. For example: leather sole shoes are better than rubber as they interrupt the elections flowing between your "soul" and the earth.

Down to earth book

Enjoyable with good tips and hacks. Zoned out here and there and found it difficult to follow some sections where you ideally need the book to read and reread. I will be reviewing his resources and may decide to buy a hard copy book. Recommend it.
