The book is about general consumption of food and people's eating habits, without anything interesting, wise or new. Not worthy of attention.

The author is a confident and influential writer, and states his philosophy and ideas that bodily movement (exercising) is imperative to our intelligence survival mechanism. His approach is considerate and polite. Without undue assumptions that everyone is "made the same". He is firm, yet polite and respectful to his reader(s). The only miss I have found is that the book presents cases of very young or middle age patients (clients). Between the ages 22 and 40, and doesn't include the older generation of men and women, someone in their early 60s or even 70s. And that is the loss for me, personally. Otherwise the book is excellent in quality of writing, human factor demonstrations and photos of exercises.

A silly attempt to override the significance of the major event in the history of the 18st Century Europe and Russia ! Peter-the-Great's achievements in advancing his country's culture, knowledge and position of power on the European and the Asian geo-political and cultural arena ! What a sad, untruthful and one-sided look at the Great and powerful country to bring forth ! Such a pity and ignorance by the author .

Mostly, the stories are uplifting, but some are just so very hopeless and distressful... That it makes those of us who are suffering long-standing unresolved health problems without the understanding of good "old school" medical professionals of the past...it becomes pretty unbearable. But, overall, the collection is much needed and still helpful. It needs to continue and be a bit more realistic and not as "fantastic" and unreliable as some of them here.

A very good and a well-written book by a multi-talented and a generous lady-Carol Burnett. She had lived in the same era as our genius-Lucille Ball and had, perhaps, learned something from her, if not in style and words, then perhaps, in her generosity of gifting... an honest praise of other performers who were just trying their "wings" out or starting up by giving them an advice and by inviting them to their remarkable shows ! Just like Ed Sullivan and then Johnny Carson had done ... A wonderful, intelligently written and a funny book-a memoir of life, personal and a professional one, all interwoven together ...
