This is a great reminder of the common sense and timeless wisdom we often forget about and ignore in our modern quest for data, scientific evidence, and the next “pill” or supplement to tackle our physical and mental woes.

I’ve listed to this book twice and will continue to listen at the beginning of each new year as I work to consistently build better and healthier long lasting habits.

Examples and evidence from Jane Austen novels illustrating both good and bad health habits are supported with modern scientific studies and facts to create a doable and sensible approach to living healthy and well.

I always follow a listen of this book up with a reading of a Jane Austen novel, who I’ve loved since high school. last time it was Sense and Sensibility. This time I think it will be Persuasion.
