But I do know a little about human nature and after many chats with friends and family, I’ve come to one conclusion – most people don’t buy exercise equipment to work out; they buy it because they think it will motivate them to work out, and make working-out easier and more fun.

I have just recovered from a case of pine nut mouth, or at least that's what I'm calling a recent health hiccup. And I have Google to thank for saving me thousands of dollars, countless trips to doctors, and plenty of time worrying. The question is: when is searching the internet for your symptoms a good idea?

I discovered witch hazel in college. I was not exactly the owner of the clearest skin in Britain, and dabbing a little witch hazel extract on my blemished skin stopped me enduring a mountain of abuse. But there are way more uses for this shrub than clearing up spotty skin.

While health authorities worry about the human cost of pandemics, other policy-makers have tended to focus on the economic costs.

Few of us even know anybody we could learn from. This book tries to fill that gap.
