USER REVIEWS

"Got my copy for a great price thanks to a seller on Amazon, but this book is useless. All topics are covered widely on the internet and the book in no way makes it interesting or "highly" informational.

Seemed like one large pamphlet on stuff you could find in any health sections but extremely boring.

I barely used it for my class. Worthless book IMO."

"I bought this book to go along with my college health class. Very informative, and I could see it being used for personal growth. Some sections were very text like, but it did incorporate fun."

"It was the first time I purchase a book from amazon and am very impressed with the service. The book from the seller was in great condition just like brand new. Would definitely purchase again.
