This has been on my kindle for a while, but following his death I decided to bump it up my pile.
Definitely a book I will dip in and out of out. Fall of loads of useful life hacks that are simple. Also felt happy that I do a lot of them already! We can make anything become healthy habit which can transform our lives, the biggest hurdle is starting. What a legacy Michael Mosley has left, thank you

**Rating: ★★★★★**

A super book outlining small things you can do to make big changes in your health. I’ve read about many of these changes before, but having them all in one place is incredibly handy. The suggestions are simple, straightforward, and truly helpful.

This book is a gem for anyone looking to improve their health, sleep, and general wellbeing. The tips are easy to implement, yet they have a big impact. I love how the author has distilled down the essential advice into a clear and accessible format.

If you're like me and enjoy practical, no-nonsense advice that can fit seamlessly into your daily routine, then this book is for you. It's not just about making changes; it's about making the right changes, and this book nails it. Highly recommend!

The thing I enjoyed about this book was that the tips were easy to follow and made me feel as if they were things I could easily incorporate into my life. The book wasn’t preachy but gave good advice.

A very informative and interesting book. I always like hearing from Dr Michael Moseley, he is relatable and I wish he could be my family GP.

I would definitely recommend this book for those who want to make healthy changes.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

I like how straightforward and practical Dr Michael Mosley's advice is, whether in his documentaries, podcast or books and this was no exception. A nice reference book to come back to from time to time as you incorporate the small changes into your daily routines.
Thanks to NetGalley, the editor and the author for the opportunity to access this copy.

This is quite a useful book and written in a friendly and easy to understand way. However, I have listened to Dr Michael Mosley on his podcast and most of the information in this book I have heard already.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% my own.

I really enjoyed this book. It was the perfect length and the ‘one things’ were explained well. I wish there were more than one study used to back up some of the points, but other than that I found the ideas presented really legitimate. I can see myself implementing some of these ‘one things’

I may have to check out Michael Mosley’s podcast soon!

An accessible and straightforward guide to making changes in your life. The changes seem small, but habits become normality and lead to great changes. Mosley gives relatable examples, encouragement and pragmatism.

I have already tried out several new ideas which make me feel I have achieved something, could easily add other changes and I also feel positively about creating new habits and looking after myself.

I became interested in Michael’s books after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I followed the fast 800 recipe book and managed to reverse my diagnosis in 10 weeks. His writing is easy to understand. He explains how he and his Doctor Wife have worked together to provide the best information for people to tackle their problems.

Thanks NetGalley for letting me read this for my honest review.

I’ve never listened to the author’s podcast that the e book is based on, but I’ll look out for it and see if I can listen on my morning commute.

This book is packed with little tips to help improve life and longevity with a bit of the background science to back it up.

I already try to balance in one leg when brushing my teeth. And I’ll be increasing beetroot in my diet. The tips aren’t patronising and Michael always tries the tips he promotes.

I’d recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve their life

Just One Thing by Dr Michael Mosley shows how simple changes can transform your life. They are simple but the same as everything you must want to change things in line to succeed.
`This is not a book you need to read in one setting, this is more like - read a bit every day, try to implement changes, to if it's working for you.
This is a book you need as a physical copy, you will want to highlight things and mark some pages as important.
This book is not rocket science and most of the things we already know but it's nice that it's summarised in one place.
I will not list all the changes we can make but I will advise you to get a copy of this book!

Thank you, NetGalley for this book and I am running to grab my physical copy now :D

Firstly, I apologise for this very short review but I have been unwell for some time and am beginning to catch up with books, food, dogs and everything else!

I am aware of Dr Mosley’s media presence so was curious to see how his “Just One Thing” radio program would be presented in book form. Of course, an ebook is never so convenient as a print for this type of book but I can see how good the print edition must be.

Short chapters cover each “thing” with simplicity and humour. No condescension, no patronising, just good, clear advice. I’m not a fan of self help books and usually avoid them and I suppose this is in that genre but I enjoyed it very much.

I love reading the author’s articles in the Daily Mail and was happy to read this. I wasn’t disappointed. Informative and well written. Highly recommended

A great little read. Mostly common sense but it often helps to be reminded of the basics.
Amazing how simple easy changes can have such a dramatically positive effect on your health
I was delighted that I’m already doing quite a few of them and especially pleased to see how good reading is for you.
