Life Time

“Respecting our natural bodily rhythms really, really matters. . . . This is an exemplary popular science book in many ways. It is readable. Full of surprising and useful facts. Rigorously evidence-based (there are no fewer than 921 references, all safely corralled at the back). Unlike many science books with similar subtitles, it really might ‘revolutionise’ your life.”—James McConnachie, The Times (London)
