Utter waste of money and kindle space. Here is why I say that.As others have stated, her "insights" are vague restatements of things you might read in any current issue of More magazine, O mag or Good Housekeeping. You really would find more browsing the tabloids at the grocery checkout line and it would be more current.The "chapter" divisions turned out to be paragraphs with such earth shattering statements like don't sleep more than 9 hours or eat alkaline stuff to prevent arthritis.I've read plenty on alternative health matters and while much of what she says is right, she doesn't go into it enough to explain even how to use a particular statement such as don't eat too much sugar.It would be useful if she included other reasons such as the glycation of proteins which is what happens when your blood sugars go up too far for too long which can happen LONG before developing Type 2 Diabetes, while your blood sugars still register as "normal".Instead she terms low carb diets as mildly unhealthy and recommends the usual whole grains and even soya.She issues a blanket statement against "chemicals" in makeup and cleaning products, and in foods that aren't organic telling the reader to avoid them.Well, that is good advice such as it is, but which are the worst. She doesn't even tell you about the dirty dozen and clean 15 lists which are a great place to start changing to a partly organic diet based on chemical LOAD.  This all or nothing type of statement isn't a good starting place for anyone to make well thought out changes.It is NOT worth 3$ plus, which I paid, nor would it be worth anything since it isn't even the quality of a good magazine article. In a good article an author that refers to science research will give footnotes of where they got the idea, who from, what books and sites to go to for more information and so forth. This is lacking.
