January Reading & Help Wanted



What are you reading? I'm happy to announce that I made it through all of my National Geographic issues. From 2014. Here's the positive spin: I'll never run out of reading material. Yay!

Food for Thought

I've just begun reading Anticancer: A New Way of Life and I'm hooked! A smart friend who is a very selective reader recommended it highly (hi, Bekah!) and once again, she proves the master of understatement. "It's good," she said.

"It's awesome!" is more accurate, I say.

Author David Servan-Shreiber, MD, PhD, was a recognized and rising research physician when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. That's when he discovered how little he (and fellow medical professionals) knew about nutrition and its role in preventing and treating disease.

The book's website provides a nice example of how to provide credible information without giving too much away for free. In this case, the book is worth the price!

What the website doesn't say, at least not overtly, is that the book is positive - never preachy - and well-written. In short, it's a pleasure to read. If you've read it, and would like to offer a more thoughtful review of it, please let me know.
