I found this book to be very interesting, inspiring, and controversial, and I highlighted A LOT. I will re-read several parts again. Here's what I really liked:
1) The author's emphasis on taking small steps to make changes. Consistent small steps are often more impactful than one big change, which is something we often forget.
2) His detail on how the mind and body work together. In order to have a healthy mind, one must also have a healthy body, and vice versa. I have seen this in myself. When I become stressed, the first thing that happens to me is that I get sick. He elaborates on this point much more.
3) His writing style - Loved it because I felt like he was talking to me. There's no flowery language. He tells it like it is in a funny, informative way.
4) His emphasis on meditation, journaling, art, and being in nature - He gave some great ways to incorporate all of these into our lives
5) Resources and websites in the back of the book.
Here's what I found to be controversial:
1) His thoughts on drinking milk. His thoughts are that since no other mammal besides humans drink other mammals' milk, that it raises a red flag for we humans. In my opinion, we are the only mammals that drink milk from another species (ex. cows, goats) because we have the brains and technology to do it. Also, other animals are cannibals, but that doesn't mean we as humans should become cannibals.
2) Money. Buying superfoods, grounding sheets, and a really nice trampoline is expensive. I understand that there's no price tag for well being, so it's worth it. And, investing in yourself will pay off in the long run because you'll have fewer health problem. But, I can see how some people might be turned off by buying expensive food and simple pieces of exercise equipment.
