One-Minute Book Review

The Minimum Method: The Least You Can Do to Be a Stronger, Healthier, Happier You – by Joey Thurman with Dr. Will Cole

Trying to squeeze out an extra 0.5% from every effort in life can be exhausting, especially with diminishing marginal returns when it comes to linear increases in effort.

Surely there must be a sweet spot of getting the best returns on the least effort and call it a day?

That’s what this book is about. Thurman examines and explains how to get “the most for least” in various important areas of health, including diet, exercise, sleep, breathwork, recovery, and a chapter specifically on brain health, though of course all the aforementioned things do affect brain health too.

An interesting feature of the book is that at the end of each chapter, he’ll give different advice for different levels of experience/commitment, so that essentially there’s an easy/medium/hard way to proceed each time.

The style is light and personal, without much hard science. The advice given is nonetheless consistent with prevailing scientific consensus, and there are still occasional scientific references throughout, with links to appropriate studies. Mostly though, the focus is on being practical.

Bottom line: if you’ve been looking for a “most for least” way of going about health, this is a fine option.
