Fascinating book. The historical section is truly great. It's very interesting to know how and why the chair mindset entered our collective brain. The design bits are quite interesting, as well. I find that my chair-sitting activities are far less unpleasant now. After that, things get a bit questionable. The later parts of the book offer ideas on how to free yourself from the horrors of chair sitting. At home, these suggestions work, but I know of ZERO industries where some of these ideas would work. Finding ways to avoid chairs is one thing, but there are limits. The one useful workplace application of the "chair free zone" philosophy is standing desks. I swear by the concept, and most folks who have used mine now have one in their office.
It may not be a perfect book, but there are many good points, so I highly recommend it. It certainly gets a person thinking about something they have probably never thought about before.
