Comments
David: ‘I have found your book both interesting and food for thought when it comes to my own tiredness. I have always hated it when dinner parties go on too long and now I know why I want to go home when the others are only getting to the enjoyable bit after three hours and several bottles of wine!’
Julia: ‘Reading your book has been good for me as so much of what you say applies to other health situations.’
