Publisher's summary

#1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER • A hilarious, myth-busting survival guide that explains the weird and wonderful bodily functions that keep us alive—and how to make them work better for longer—from TikTok's favorite doctor, “the go-to expert for a generation” (The Telegraph)

“Dr. Karan Rajan reveals his health hacks that may save your life. . . . In a world of charlatans and social media snake-oil salesmen, he provides a voice of reason.”—Mail on Sunday

Your body is incredible, but it’s also out to destroy you. Your brain is like an early computer operating system, riddled with bad code, slow to load, and more likely to watch cat memes than go to sleep. You’d be a mess without your skeleton, but it can be a bony cage if you’re tortured by backaches, niggling neck pain, and knee joints that crumble under pressure. And your nose is a design disaster, getting blocked, springing leaks, and growing random tufts of hair.

You are the sum total of a lot of mistakes, trials, and errors, and you have to learn to live with them as best you can. That’s where this book comes in. Here’s everything you need to know to slow the inevitable decay that’s plagued your body from the moment of your birth.
You will:

• Enjoy the most epic and efficient dump of your existence
• Optimize brain efficiency by putting an end to multitasking
• Give your breath a sniff test to assess your health
• Start treating your eye socket dumplings with the respect they deserve

Here’s how to keep all your organs living in peaceful harmony so that you can enjoy a better, longer, healthier life.

Solid read: learning made easy

Really enjoyed listening to this book. Learned a lot but it wasn’t too text bookish. Recommend for those trying to expand their medical knowledge base and for those who are just trying to squeeze in a not too dry nonfiction.

Biology made fun!

I loved this book and I’m so glad the author read it! Every person needs this book. It is fun and very informative. It will be fun to listen to many times if not just for the great information but also for the humor.

A fun guide to easy health hacks

Audio books are my favorite form of entertainment since I can wedge them into almost everything else I do so I don't indulge in much social media time. However, a couple years ago I stumbled on "utube shorts" (Audible doesn't like mention of external sites) and found this was the perfect transition for me to move from busy day to sleep mode. Dr. Karan Rajan quickly became a favorite because his medical/health related shorts are designed for the non-medically trained, but presented without condescension. His topics range from the non-life threatening, but painful and embarrassing (like hemorrhoids and ED), to what causes period pain and when is it indicative of bigger issues. He's never vulgar, but quite down-to-earth and often very funny. If you see him on social media, you will know exactly what you are getting with this book - same entertaining, comprehensible style, but expanded to book length and covering how to get the best from your physical existence in this world. I was entertained and educated - there's a win/win in my book!
