Move a Little, Lose a Lot: New NEAT Science Reveals How to Be Thinner, Happier, and Smarter by Selene Yeager, James A. Levine
4.0
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.
