Reader Reviews
"Health books often ask you to change everything at once. This one does the exact opposite, and that's why it stands out. The Old-Fashioned Way to a Life Chock-Full of Vim and Vigour makes healthy living feel manageable by introducing small habits that quietly become part of everyday life. The weekly format, personal stories, and simple checklists create steady progress without guilt or pressure. It feels more like having a reliable guide beside you than following another strict wellness plan. If you've ever started with enthusiasm only to lose steam a few weeks later, this journal offers a refreshingly realistic path that you can actually stick with."
This book is great. It presents as a daily planner to help you get your vim and vigor back. It gives daily achievable goals to do everyday, nothing crazy, just simple, health focused manageable tasks we can all do to help improve our lives and health. It’s an easy and enjoyable read. Sometimes you know what you need to do in your head, but this book organizes it all, makes it easy to read and thus start, follow through and finish. Great book, I found it very helpful!
"Easy read with super-practical, low barrier suggestions without any pretension or judgement! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to avoid the influencer vibe."
I love this book! I really enjoyed the anecdotes and metaphors. The book is written in an encouraging, non-judgmental way that is very comforting.
I’ve hit almost all of this week’s goals and I feel excited to keep going! I think that this book will help someone not only build habits but also learn how to sustain them over the long term.
I enjoyed the weekly checklists, they are very helpful to keep you on track.
This was a really enjoyable read! Each week has a story that helps keep you on track. One area I really like is the Quick reference part at the back. It lets you know serving size and nutrition. Great book!
I just got this book and have been really enjoying it so far! It seems like quite easy daily tasks but that it has the possibility to greatly improve someone’s life when done consistently. I look forward to continuing on with the book!!
