Great book packed with tons of tips covering a wide range of topics. I was surprised by the simplicity of a number of things here that I had never thought about. All these years how was I to know I wasn't even tying my shoes right, now I know better.

I was hoping for some terrific, unique tips that would "wow" me. Instead I got tips on how to tie my running shoes so they don't untie during the day & how to untie them easily when you want to take them off. How to save on iPhone data charges - go to cafes, bars, public spaces where free wifi is

offered. Basically lots of common sense tips that the average person is already knows.
Disappointing. 2.5 stars

Some good tips, some bad tips, some known tips, some unknown tips. Nothing truly revolutionary but there were a few good nuggets of information. Probably best to skim through while at the bookstore instead of purchasing it.
