MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK
15 Steps to Healthy Living is a great guide to healthier living and also gives readers insight into the author's own life. This book lays out simple steps or guidelines in which you can use to better your life. They are easy to understand and comprehend. The author includes practical resources in 15 easy steps. The book is well written but is missing a few things.
One thing that is wrong is that it has a lack of scientific backing. There are almost no scientific studies cited. As a biology major, I can not believe someone's word, I need empirical evidence. There were many claims of “many scientific studies have shown” but few actual citations to back up this claim.
The second thing is the steps are kind of expensive. The book suggests organic food options, unpasteurized milk, and working out like gym memberships. All things could be out of reach to some American and the rest of the world.
