Book Tip No. 3 (2014): The 4-Hour Body

New York 2010.

“A cookbook of minimalist methods for rapid body transformation”, is how the book is praised on the cover. Timothy Ferris has achieved a No 1 bestseller on the New York Time list.

He actually provides a guide on how to transform your body with a “MED”, a “minimal effective dose”. His recipes and advice come from science on the one hand, and on the other hand Ferris has carried out many, sometimes unconventional self-tests (not to say – self-mortifications). For example, a 10-minute bath in ice water also promotes calorie burning. An amusingly readable “cookbook” with many suggestions for everyday life.
