The BookViral Review:
Potted inspiration with no fancy frills. Dennis McVicker tells it as it is; simply and unapologetically. The basic truth – you will be happier if you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. You will be happier (and definitely healthier) if you take exercise. And you don’t need pills or fads to do so.
With no time for whingers or self-excusers, McVicker presents an incredibly straightforward approach to weight loss. However, do not make the mistake of assuming that his ‘non-coddling’ style negates an appreciation of the complex and co-dependant relationship most humans have with food.
On the contrary, McVicker not only addresses psychological challenges such as mindset and addiction but explains how these can be managed and controlled by the very acts which will nurture an optimal body and mind – exercise and healthy eating. Though a lone venture is not impossible, he also advocates sharing the journey-making yourself accountable means you are ten times more likely to succeed!
The one area McVicker encourages us not to skimp on, however, is knowledge. Knowledge of energy, both consumption and burning, is key to maintaining a healthy balance, particularly in the early days of change, and this knowledge, if applied honestly, is the key to power, and is in itself, extremely motivational. Take his simple in/out food table. Just the sure scientific knowledge and belief that ‘in’ subtracted by ‘out’ results in a deficit that can only result in weight loss is incredibly empowering and puts all the power into the hands and mind of the one acting.
A journal to dip into for encouragement and/or practical suggestions, ‘Boil the Frog’ provides a fully workable and constructive approach to a new and long-lasting you- in McVicker’s own words ‘Today’s effort is tomorrow’s body. Period. It is highly recommended!
From the continuing climate crisis, gender issues, big tech, pandemics and race there is a continuous wave of new titles illuminating the issues of the day but it’s rare that we take time to stand back and reflect on the incremental changes that shape our world and the countries within it.
We journey with Benjamin through romance, business, adventure, and personal grief, where the oxymoron of both the self-sufficiency and the sometimes needy side of introversion becomes all too apparent.
Having a strong relationship with Europe has allowed British publishers to enjoy the financial benefits that come with exclusive English-language rights to books sold continent-wide. Britain risks losing these benefits post-Brexit.
What makes a memoir so alluring? After all, they are not generally stuffed full with action, suspense, romance or mystery, which provide the highs and lows or other literature.
I was recently introduced to sleep stories. Not that I have a problem sleeping; as an early riser with avid exercise habits I am definitely ready to grab 7 hours of blissful slumber by the end of the day.
Go back not so many years and an author was just that-an author…. who wrote, and at the most maybe edited their own work. How different things are today!
