The bestselling author examines and comments on the latest discoveries, excesses, and misconceptions in medicine. He renounces faith with Glauber's salt, saves the world through new sleep techniques, and learns serenity not through Indian Ayurveda, but through the traffic congestion in the Indian capital. He prescribes no placebos, but offers practical life assistance in a world for which we were never designed. His hallmark: intelligent humor with lasting messages.
