Review:
About the Author:
"Full of tips and life hacks that are backed up by cold, hard science." (The Sun)
"Contains a staggering amount of common sense, scientifically solid advice, much of it new information to this particular reviewer, who will be adopting some of its principles immediately." (Robin Pierce, Starburst Magazine)
"Colin Stuart and Mun Keat Looi have left no stone unturned in their scientific guide to life s problems. Read it from cover to cover and then start dishing out advice to your friends, whether they want to hear it or not." (BBC Focus)
"This book promises and delivers. Not only is it useful in its most literal sense of the word but it is also by turns fascinating and funny. This book has obviously taken time and research and been very well considered before its creation and that care really shows." (Geek Syndicate)
