For over 30 years, Dr Norman Swan has been delivering straight, honest, common-sense health information to ordinary Australians as both a physician and much-loved broadcaster.

Norman does what he does best, educate through a thorough dissection of modern life referring to evidence and calling out mythology and as he puts it “crap”. As a GP I have learnt a lot, reinforcing my own management and achieving new insights. Admittedly Normans dry humour and Scottish brogue requires careful listening at times. Thoroughly recommend this listen.

Love listening to Norman Swan speak. the tone of the book is relatable, the messages are clear. There's so many interesting takeaways and he is generous and respectful with the delivery of these. I loved his sensible, matter of fact inclusion of glbtiq+ experience/research. in the narrative. Norman Swan gives us that straight forward sensible approach that says 'here's the science, now you decide for yourself' thanks Dr!!

Dr Norman Swan is a world leading health science communicator. I value everything he says when presenting information to the public. As scientific discovery progresses and new studies are published, our understanding changes. Dr Swan endeavours to stay abreast of these subtle or world view changing perspectives. As scientific discovery alters the view and opinions of our medical and scientific community, so too his view and opinion changes. He has been criticised for this but it is the nature of the field. He is a treasure. I’m so glad he narrates his own work. His lilt is distinguished and endearing.

Measured. No nonsense.

A great book to refer to if you are interested in health. Dr Norman Swan (in my opinion) is a trusted source and this book covers off on all issues relating to physical and mental health. And Norman narrates it as well!!!

A great read

In the conclusion of this book Norman Swan thanks one of his colleagues at the ABC for the knowledge brevity. Whatever stage you are at in your health this book will either inspire, reassure or provide a couple of takeaway tips. The self described "dour Scot" isn't here to trumpet your awakening. In a refreshing change, this is about nudging, kindness and providing you with a way to explain complex issues in a straight forward way.

The book is humorous, honest and heartfelt

A wonderful landing space

Really a book for everyone. A talented story teller, a no B.S approach to health.
Norman with whit and charm and humour and honesty about his own views. He approached the book with hard contemporary research and also addresses such a broad range of topics. There is something in this book for everyone. Well worth the credit. Bravo Norman. Also the corona-cast podcast has been indispensable throughout this covid period. Thanks you.

What a sublime book.

An informative joy to listen to

Swan is objective and never claims to be a Guru about health, he discuss the science, facts, contradictions and paradoxes that make up who we are.

Fascinating
