BOOK REVIEW: 150 BRILLIANT IDEAS TO KEEP YOUNG MINDS FIT & FINE BY NEERA MAINI SRIVASTAV











SUMMARY:


In a world with increasing stress, lifestyle imbalance, new age challenges and health hazards, 'wellness' is the new God everyone's seeking. While adults have infinite choices and options to course-correct paths, the young adults, though have increasing incidences of mental and physical health challenges, have little or almost no aids to holistic health and wellness. With increasing juvenile obesity and depression hitting the teens, there is a dire need to address the same. The book is based on addressing just that in a contemporary, light-hearted fashion. Split into 3 sections: Mind, Body and Spirit, the book offers truths in each category that seed the idea of wellness in a fun and engaging way. What better than a ready reckoner for young adults to get by their highly stressful daily lives in a more meaningful, healthier and stimulating manner. A companion of sorts, the book aims at delivering well-being to the troubled young souls. “The reason why this book is close to my heart is because as a Life Skills Coach, I work extensively with teens as well as tweens. Doing so requires an understanding of their Mind, Body, Spirit. This is the area in which this wonderful book serves an important purpose. It offers an integrated, holistic approach to every aspect of young peoples' Wellness issues. Neera is an author whom I admire greatly. This exhaustive book is a much- needed compendium of critical information. I have no doubt it will meet huge success.” - Ms Neelam Kumar (Life Skills Coach and Author)








OVERVIEW:

150 brilliant ideas is a simple yet promising non fiction book that I read recently.
This book was a fairly average read for me.
The book revolves around various concepts such as  diet, exercise, confidence,self care, and much more.
The topics are explained in a short,crisp and easy way.
The illustrations enhanced my reading experience.
There are many things/ topics that I agreed with in this book but there were quiet a few that I dint agree with for various & obvious reasons.
The writing style was good. The language was easy going and lucid.
The narration was good but it could have been better.
The title is chosen appropriately but the cover required minor improvements .
It's a fairly quick & easy read which can be read even by beginers.
I'm not a fan of non fiction books, but this one was different!
Overall, a good,easy and a quick read.
MY RATING: 3.5/5🌟
