  • The working man’s guide to well-being
This book is a great snapshot of health in todays world. Not simply a regurgitation of bad science from the 60’s. It is an overall guide to better manipulate your health and suggestions to transform daily habits into best practices. Don’t worry, this isn’t a book on how to sit on a physio ball or type on a computer and the author isn’t the posture police. The pages are loaded with helpful suggestions from exercise, to mindfulness, nutrition and maneuvering western medicine. All from a low cost, low tech perspective. He practices what he preaches and could give invaluable knowledge to you no matter if you’re 18 or 80. An overall great investment for anyone who has an interest in their health or performance. Well done Dr. Oddo. ... show more

  • Highly Recommend
This book was a solid read, especially in a world that still feels like it’s adjusting to working from home. In thinking about the “how” of work/productivity more critically than ever before, this book provides great anatomical insight. Highly recommend!!

  • Dr. Tom knows his stuff!
As a patient of Dr. Tom Oddo, I was thrilled to hear he was writing a book. Tom is full of knowledge when it comes to health and longevity. I am beyond excited he gets to share his knowledge with the rest of the world!

  • Recommend to anyone who sits!
Incredibly insightful and full of pearls to help anyone work and live healthier! Despite providing a bounty of useful information and getting into the details of ergonomics and physiology, it is very well written so is a pleasure to read and absolutely flies by. 5 out of 5, and anyone who ever sits or stands should read this book! ... show more
