Review
"
It was SO GOOD! I read it cover to cover, and will be keeping it for future reference. It feels strange to say that about a book focused on the musculature and bone structure of the human foot, but it's true. For one thing, Katy Bowman has a great sense of humor, and that makes the topic way more lively and entertaining that I ever would have thought possible."--Devastate Boredomdevastateboredom.com/2015/10/what-to-read-and-what-not-to-read-2.html
What if I told you that I read an incredibly funny book that is sophisticatedly written, based on real scientific data, easy-to-understand, and practical enough for daily use? You'd probably think I was crazy, but I'm not!
Whole Body Barefoot is such a book, and I would strongly encourage every bipedal human being on the planet to pick up a copy....
I truly admire anyone who can make me laugh and learn at the same time, especially when it comes to my favorite subject of all, the body. I also enjoy someone who has the ability to take sophisticated and sometimes confusing terms or principles and break them down into practical bits of information that are applicable to daily life.
Whole Body Barefoot does this time and again, and it's one of the most important reasons I adore the book the so much.
