This book has already had a big impact on my life, just two weeks after I finished. Levine's advice is very good and should be taught and practiced in schools, homes and workplaces across the nation. Five stars for that.
As a book there are several flaws that detract from the score. I bought this as an e-book. The book is packed with paperwork to complete (trackers, contracts, lists) with no good way of completing the paperwork. This led to me dropping a lot of the paperwork-related exercises, since it seems wrong to sit in front of the PC for hours to make up for this flaw.
The book is also packaging NEAT slightly too much, and at times it feels more like a sales pitch than advice rooted firmly in science. If it had dropped the need to hype it would have been a better experience to read. So three stars as a book.

I really liked the first chapter. The rest was a typical diet book - without any cheering section. "Eat less, you fat cow, and move your arse!"

Dare you to read this and not want to walk. I found it an interesting read, and a lot of it made sense. I do sometimes wonder why people phone people in the same building as them rather than going over and talking to them, and this argues for that, that we should be moving, that our sedentary lives are killing us and that we should walk more, move more, energise ourselves.
