5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and Informative

d. · 29 December 2023

As someone who doesn't frequently delve into medical literature, I found "This Book Could Save Your Life" by Dr. Karan Rajan to be a refreshingly accessible read. The book's easy-to-follow style, reminiscent of Dr. Rajan's popular TikTok videos, makes complex medical topics both understandable and engaging. Each chapter is structured like a series of short, informative clips, a format that not only holds the reader's attention but also makes the content more digestible.Dr. Rajan's writing is crisp and clear, effectively maintaining a balance between being informative and entertaining. The book doesn't delve deeply into specific medical conditions or detailed bodily functions, with the notable exception of a comprehensive section on eyes. This approach aligns perfectly with the book's aim to be an easily accessible resource rather than an exhaustive medical guide. It covers a broad range of topics concerning different parts of the body, providing essential information in a manner that's more akin to watching an educational comedy movie than sitting through a dry lecture.What I particularly appreciated about the book was its ability to pique my curiosity. Several topics caught my attention and have motivated me to explore them further. This aspect of sparking interest in its readers is a testament to Dr. Rajan's skillful writing and his ability to present medical knowledge in an approachable way.Overall, "This Book Could Save Your Life" stands out as a valuable resource. It's a book that educates, entertains, and engages—a rare combination in medical literature. Whether you're a fan of Dr. Rajan's social media presence or simply someone looking for an enjoyable way to learn about health and the human body, this book is definitely worth your time and investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars if only all medical information came like this

P. · 4 February 2024

Firstly a slight criticism of the font size. It is so tiny that my eyes couldn't cope with more than a half dozen pages at a time even with my glasses and reading light.I realise it was probably considered necessary to squeeze in the text without it becoming a weight lifting exercise. My mother declared it too small to even attempt. So it may be costing the author readership which would be a great shame.This book is very good. It offers complex information without dumbing down the language to toddler level. Processes are given their correct names in tandem with similes and metaphors that demystifies the medical jargon and allows the layman mind to keep hold of the essentials. There are no taboo subjects and all information is proffered with a deft and somewhat whimsical touch.Written from the perspective that your body has a self destructive design to limit your life span, each area of knowledge is laid out for ease of understanding. Scattered throughout the book are boxes of text on what you can do to maximise your chances of longevity. There is no product advertisement. The steps are simple to achieve.I discovered Dr Rajan on Facebook and have been delighted thus far with the knowledge imparted. The claims made on social media are a minefield so it is reassuring to find an person speaking about his arse not through it.Highly recommend as an informative and amusing read.
