Only negative point is production value; everything else is beyond expectations. No water, no nonsense, no all that stuff where author is trying to convince reader of his/hers point of view like trying to present a product/service for selling. It is a very direct book full of useful information in every paragraph (well, maybe except “go see a doctor” theme, but I understand the need). What's better is clear motif that this book was not written in vacuum – nor book nor author show more positioning themselves as an end of all solution. They are here just to be a car manual, you drive it yourself.

This wears down the meniscus and articular cartilage faster contributing to osteoarthritis.” - can really make you want more pretty pictures with pointers, explanation boxes and dictionaries for what most people probably forgot from their biology and anatomy lessons in school. Got to learn this stuff again. show less
