The Nordic Guide to Living 10 Years Longer: 10 Easy Tips for a Happier, Healthier Life

While there is a lot of good, basic healthy information in this book, sufficient for someone just beginning a healthy lifestyle, this is in now way specifically Nordic, other than the fact that the author is Swedish. I was specifically looking for Nordic information, and this book contained none. very disappointing.

This was an enjoyable book with lots of practical recommendations. I have incorporated many of these suggestions into my daily life. Those Scandinavian people are always one step ahead! I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for realistic health tips or just a good, quick read.

Interesting reading.

This paperback book has some common-sense health tips...but nothing really that new or inspired. I feel like it sells just because it's part of the Nordic fad.

Very good, practical, do-able information. Quick read but a lot of inspiration.

Excellent summary1

Excellent book

Easy to read, not pretentious and very useful.

So after a cancer diagnosis I was looking for something to help so that I could help myself. I found that this book which isn't aimed at people with cancer was really full of good ideas that were simply put. The content and the layout of the book is good. I love the style with which it is written and have been following the advice written. It isn't a big book but it is easy to navigate.It deals with several areas of your life and the recommendations are explained (and evidenced) and easy to implement. Without exercise ( recovery from a big operation) and by following the recommendations I have lost 10kgs in 6 weeks.If I could get the teenager to follow this book I would be a happy bunny!ps. I am in remission. This book didn't make me cancer free but I hope to be cancer free by living a healthier lifestyle. This book has helped. It gave me hope in the dark days.

Lovely book giving advice on how to live a long and healthy life. Based on the Swedish 'lagom' principles of the benefits of sleep, diet, weight, being optimistic and so on. Really good book to work through to give a sense of contentment. I am pleased with my purchase and would buy again.

The book details ways to live your life in a much more positive and beneficial way. Tune into calmness and let the bad things go, ie, bad drivers who annoy you can never be changed. Change your way of thinking. Great book. Bought second-hand and was in very good condition.

Tells you things you should really know but do not think about. In my opinion if everyone adopted the recommendations the NHS would have spare hospital beds and low patients in doctors surgeries!

As the title suggests, Dr Bertil Marklund, a doctor and researcher at the Gothenburg University, shares ten tips that promise not only a happier but also a healthier life. He talks about the benefits of physical exercise (Tip 1: Movement Rejuvenates The Body), good sleep (Tip 3: Sleep Fortifies), sunlight exposure (Tip 4: Sun – but not too much), healthy diet (Tip 5: Eat yourself Healthy) and good oral health (Tip 8: Oral Health gives general Health). He shares tips on how to rip these benefits, but also strategies on combatting stress (Tip 2: Time for Recovery) and keeping weight in check (Tip 7: Keep your Weight in Check).
