I found this book very easy to read. It contains a mine of information and is based upon
common sense principles.

Work Life Body is a very well researched mine of information which pulls together in one
place everything you could ever want to know about keeping your body healthy and strong.
Despite covering a huge amount of detail it is written in a practical, easy to understand style.
Understanding exactly how our bodies function and what they need is the first step to taking
ownership for our own wellbeing and happiness. This seems to me to be a fundamental value
we should all embrace in our societies and organisations of the future if we want to create
successful and thriving communities.
Alison Gamblin, MCIPD, Managing Director, Re-thinking Limited, Marlborough
Most of us live with the constant feeling that we ‘ought’ to be taking better care of ourselves
- but somehow rarely turn that feeling into action! Where this book succeeds is in creating the
motivation and belief that such improvements are both possible and realistic. The accessible
information and realistic strategies are clearly capable of achieving life-enhancing changes.
As a ‘dip-in’ guide for individuals or an invaluable resource for organisations keen to support
the well-being of their staff, Fiona Slade has managed to make her subject
enjoyable, inspiring and - most importantly - practical.

lots of wonderful things and
beautifully presented
Sarahjoy Boldison, Occupational Therapist, North Somerset
A good book to have around the house, the office, practice, school, wherever.
Something that lends itself to a browse, dipping into, providing answers to specific questions
and aiding personal research about a wide range of health issues. I like the mix of text, low-tech
diagrams, tables, cartoons. The tone of the book worked well for me. It is encouraging rather than
"preachy". It is the kind of thing that I think people might go to if/when confused by the
bombardment of contradictory information that seems to hit the media almost daily at present.
I think it gets across a positive message about empowering people to take their health seriously
but without beating themselves up about it and thereby reducing the prospects of bringing about
any lasting and personally satisfying and life enhancing improvement

Started reading your book last night. I cannot put it down. Everyone should have the chance to
read this amazing and truly insightful book.

Reading this book makes life easier!! It is refreshing to read something which makes sense to the
average man trying to look after himself. Exercise, stress and the idea of eating certain foods was
great, also from this book I have decided to take up Pilates!! The understanding of the glycaemic
index also helps. Thanks for the read. I liked it because it used ordinary language I could understand,
not scientific language. I did not find that I read it all. I just went for the bits that interested me. It was
good to find a book that I could do that with. Usually you have to go all over the place to get the bits of
information you want. I did not know anything about the core muscles before. I go to the gym as part of
looking after myself, but now I want to do Pilates too, to work on those muscle, to work on the
inside too. Will be stocking it in the shop for my customers.

I gave your book to my brother to look at and he won't give it back to me.

He thinks it's great and tells me it is very clear and easy to understand. He is a very critical
person so . . . He was taken by the clarity and how he understood stuff he had never been able to
make head or tail of before.
