Excerpt from the Book:

The Perfect Medicine reads like a memoir. The author is a devoted runner, but also a medical doctor. We learn a lot about his personal experiences, history, and scientifically based facts about running.

I would say that those who didn’t start yet and would like to run will benefit the most from this audiobook. It contains a lot of information on how running improves health and how sometimes it can be a substitute for medication. Narrator Nathan Agin did an excellent job. It feels like the author himself is reading the book.

My Thoughts:

The Perfect Medicine reads like a partly memoir, partly science book about running. We learn some of the history and personal experiences of the author, who is a medical doctor. So we get also scientifically based explanations, his examples and those of his patients.

I would say that those who didn’t start yet and would like to run will benefit the most from this book / audiobook. Narrator Nathan Agin did an excellent job. It feels like author is reading his book himself.
