This is a short summarization of the healthy living nonfiction book, How Not to Die. It contains the basic facts and need-to-know info from the book, without lengthy explanations or overwhelming scientific jargon, and it gets across the point of a 576 page book very nicely in only 40 pages. This was a quick read, and surprisingly it was quite informative, to the point of recommending different foods and herbs for different disorders and sometimes even giving the suggested dosage. It is a stand-alone book, and does not need to be read alongside Dr. Michael Greger's How Not to Die, although for those interested in reading the complete book it contains a link to buy it.
The basis of both books is that by living a healthy lifestyle, eating a proper diet, exercising regularly, and staying away from doctors as much as possible, you can live a longer and more fulfilling life. Each chapter is dedicated to a different common "killer", including heart disease, cancers, brain diseases, infections, High Blood Pressure, diabetes, suicidal depression, Parkinson's, kidney disease, and many more. Each chapter discusses what causes the disease, how to avoid it, and how to prevent and possibly cure it.
I liked a lot of what I read in this book... however, I have two problems with it that knock my rating down a star. I disagreed with Dr. Greger's pro-vaccination and anti-animal products views. As one respected nutrition writer once said of this book, "Greger cherry-picked scientific studies to support his main thesis, and thus understated the beneficial effects of moderate meat and seafood consumption." However, because I learned useful information from this book and agree with the majority of it, I would still give this book four stars.

Not a very thorough summary of How Not to Die.
I was disappointed so little of the actual book is summarized. Some key points are made, but a good portion completely ignored. The book slams Dr. Greger for "cherry picking science", which anyone who actually follows Dr. Greger/Nutritionfacts.org knows he chooses multiple, independent studies, not funded by the agriculture lobbyists. Save your money and purchase Dr. Greger's original book.

Great for a summary, leaves you with some questions
Liked the brevity, wish there were more lists that were referred to in the summary. Gets to the point effectively.
