"Help me, Dr. Dean! I want to be healthy, but I just don't know where to turn for advice."
No wonder. How often have you felt whipsawed by the experts, confused by conflicting advice, or torn with guilt over what you eat, drink, think? Prepare yourself for a shock: You can relax, enjoy life, and still be healthy.
Renowned for candid straight talk on radio and television, Dr. Dean Edell applies his unique common-sense perspective to America's growing obsession with health. Frank and iconoclastic, Dr. Edell walks readers through a lifetime of experience from deep inside the twin worlds of media and medicine. As one of the first media doctors, he knows better than anyone the dangers of distorted medical reporting. With colorful detail, he shows how medical consumers are made neurotic at a time when people are healthier than ever before. Dr. Edell sorts through the morass of research, distinguishing fact from panic-inducing fiction. With trademark humor, grace, and style, he shares with us the essential reassuring facts about our health: you can be fatter than you think; too much exercise might kill you; and yes, sex will add years to your life!

Good Business, Great Cause
Booksio is one of the few online retailers that I feel good about shopping with. I picked up a book I’d been meaning to read and found something new while supporting a cause I care about. My books arrived on time and in good shape. I’ll definitely be shopping with Booksio again.
— Kurt P.
Confidence in the Mission
Shopping with Booksio exposes me to new causes with monthly supporting literature. I can choose to read what I want and know that way more than 0.5% of the purchase is going to a good cause that has been vetted.
— Alanna J.

Making A Difference
HOW BOOKSIO WORKS
It’s possible to purchase books at almost any store, so why Booksio? With every book you buy from us, we donate 10% of the total cost to charity. Every month, we pick a new charitable cause for which you can receive literary support with your purchase. And we’re not just about selling books - we’re about reading and storytelling that makes a difference in this world.
