Based on 20 years of investigative reporting and interviews with 100 practicing physicians who embrace the keto lifetstyle as the best prescription for their patients' health, Taubes' book puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we've come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice.

Excellent history/overview of keto/lchf!

I've followed Taubes for years and read all of his work, and I think this text is a great distillation of what he's been saying all along. He takes a complex subject matter and makes it very accessible for anyone who takes the time to read/listen to the information. The narrator, Holter Graham, is also excellent at keeping the pace lively and interesting even when it dips into otherwise dry scientific matter. Highly reccommended!

For thousands of years, holy books have told us that such a life is available only through obedience and submission to some higher power. Today, the faithful keep popular devotionals and tracts within easy reach on bedside tables and mobile devices, all communicating this common message: Life is meaningless without God. Former pastor Dan Barker eloquently, powerfully, and rationally upends this long-held belief.

Helpful mostly for deconverted Christians

Any additional comments?
I'm always poking around looking for inspirational and/or self-help books that are either entirely secular (eg no mentions of a god or spirit or any other paranormal entity) or overtly atheist (usually involving the word "atheist" somewhere on the cover, lol). I had high hopes for this one but it's not for me. This was written specifically for deconverted Christians, and I'm sure people of that experience and background would find a LOT in this book to validate their choices and help them make healthy strides to a "life driven purpose" but that's not me.
I love his basic premise, that a "life driven purpose" is about creating meaning in our lives by looking internally -- that is, not resting our purpose on external and/or "everafter" rewards. This book is very clearly a response to Warren's juggernaut book, "The Purpose Driven Life," and a necessary one, IMHO. Recommended for any deconverts you know who are feeling unmoored without a doctrine (or fear) to lead them.
