342. The Life of Poo or Why You Should Think Twice About Shaking Hands (Especially With Men) by Adam Hart

BOOK REVIEW: The Life of Poo or Why You Should Think Twice About Shaking Hands (Especially with Men) by Adam Hart

Shit! Ok, I'm not cursing. It was just a word I need to mention related to this book. Poo is a taboo subject and what more when it's brought up in a conversation. This book will definitely allow "investment" to be the topic of the day.

Poo is a regular part of our lives. But did you know that most of the 'solid' in your solid waste is actually bacteria? Poo is the product of a remarkable internal ecosystem that science is only just beginning to understand. 

In this book, the author explores the profound, unexpected, sometimes unpleasant - but often beneficial - impact this microscopic horde has on our health, wealth and well-being. 

Join the author on a humorous, encyclopoodic, myth-busting journey that is flush with facts, from the poo in your toilet to the latest scientific research beyond the bowl.

To me, it is a book that had facts retold in a simpler way for even the worse unscience-minded individual. It shines a spotlight on the human microbiota and how poo is nothing to be spoken little of (get to know your brownies more).
