An Amazon Best Book of December 2015 for Nonfiction and Humor & Entertainment "My favorite health book in years...cuts through the pseudoscience behind the health hype." --A.J. Jacobs, author of New York Times-bestselling Drop Dead Healthy: One Man's Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection "Anyone fascinated by health-related research studies and surprising factoids...will be amply entertained and informed by Wilser's lively compendium." --Publishers Weekly "A humorous anthology debunking contemporary wisdom about guilty pleasures and bad habits... Wilser delivers useful advice with cheerful good humor." --Kirkus Reviews "Wilser uses scientific studies, observations, and lots of humor to poke holes in some of the most popular health advice... The articles are short and punchy, and Wilser knows when to add humor... the timely topics and controversial conclusions will get readers thinking." --Booklist "A much-needed dose of cheer to a season of 'bad' behavior." --New York Post "A breezy romp through recent medical research...A fun guide mostly because he enjoys debunking so many fads." --The Telegraph "Prepare to be shocked and to have your world flipped upside down. You'll never think the same way again about what we sadly accept as dogma about our vices. This book will change your life, guaranteed." --Ben Greenfield, Fitness Coach, author of New York Times bestselling Beyond Training "The bad news about Jeff Wilser's new book is that you'll learn there are no quick and easy ways to lose weight, live longer, or have better sex. The good news is that you'll get smarter, and laugh out loud, while Wilser takes you on a hilarious tour of what the scientific evidence really says, and doesn't. Be careful: Laughing too much might rip a hole in your esophagus (see page 130)." --Dr. Ivan Oransky, MD, Vice President and Global Editorial Director, MedPage Today, founder of RetractionWatch.com "Wilser's delivery is comically entertaining. The short segments keep the book moving swiftly and the collective information is fascinating. Studies are still out, but it's probably safe to say this book is good for us all." --Shelf Awareness "Though written in an off-hand, whimsical (and delightful) style, this book has a lot to teach us. It teaches us to be at least a little skeptical of unqualified health claims that come from scientists and (especially) journalists. Read this book and feel a little less guilty about many of your guilty pleasures." --Dr. Barry Schwartz, psychologist, author of Why We Work, Practical Wisdom, and The Paradox of Choice "Just the right amounts of serious research, light-hearted humor, and good, old-fashioned self-deprecation...it's the perfect antidote to yesteryear's tiresome and stodgy health and wellness tomes---and most importantly, it's one hell of a good time." --Rochelle Bilow, editor at Bon App tit, author of The Call of the Farm "A vast compendium of knowledge that informs, debunks, amuses you---and disabuses you of the notion that kale is awesome." --Brian Sack, TV host & author of The B.S. of A. and In The Event of My Untimely Demise "Informative and entertaining...filled with facts gleaned from experts.... The book's great." -Withings Health Boosters "Interrupting the endless swirl of information telling us we're doing it wrong or we're doing it right, Jeff Wilser's book is a calming, hilarious, and information-packed reminder that everything should be taken with a grain of salt (and maybe a shot of whiskey, too)." --Jen Doll, author of Save the Date: The Occasional Mortifications of a Serial Wedding Guest "Jeff Wilser's newest book challenges each of us to think more critically about every trendy article about what's *really* good or bad for you. With facts, humor, and solid counter-arguments for each popular wellness fad, Wilser reminds us tha
