Explore the science behind your daily living habits and make your day healthier, happier, and more productive.

Many of the activities we take for granted are in fact contrary to a healthy lifestyle. In this groundbreaking book, long-held beliefs are exploded by new science: drinking eight glasses a day is too much; breakfast isn't the most important meal of the day; smartphones are not making us all depressed.

Bringing to bear the latest research in psychology, nutrition, biology, and physics, best-selling author Dr Stuart Farrimond unearths the facts behind the fads, and provides take-away advice on every area of our lives - and all delivered in Dr Stu's trademark style; approachable, authoritative, and above all, entertaining.

The Science of Living debunks pseudo-science and delivers only the facts. One day - one body - over 200 examples of science in action.

I love love loved this book.

This book is chock full of fantastic information on when it's best time to sleep, whether vitamins are helpful, what you should eat, what time you should exercise and so, so much more. I loved every single page.

I kept quoting so much of this to my family. How lunch is the tastiest meal, how you should nap between 1-3pm, how you're most productive in the morning, how entering a new room tells the brain to start fresh, how keeping a diary improves your memory (knew it!) and on and on.

This book is beautifully illustrated which makes it a joy to read but it's the content that shines. I loved every single page of it. If you like ways to improve your day and you like science, you will love it too!!

with gratitude to DK and netgalley for an advanced copy in return for an honest review.
