The Four Hour Body

I recall when first seeing the book entitled The Four Hour Body thinking that this was yet another book catering to those looking for shortcuts to health and fitness, something akin to 7 minute abs.



After reading an interview with the author in Wired magazine, I decided to pick up a copy, and have definitely found the read both entertaining and inspirational.

The inspirational part was the author's approach to fitness and health, namely acquiring knowledge related to the subject, then designing and conducting experiments to determine what is effective. Regardless of whether you agree with any of the conclusions the author presents, this approach is something that can be applied to many items in our day to day lives.
