Review

60 Seconds is a handy, pocket-sized book with some great tips to de-stress and bring some peace into your life. The book is written by a practicing naturopath who shares the wealth of her knowledge in practical techniques for everyday use. The book is broken into; The Secrets for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and the Nutrient Table.

Some of the “Secrets” for relaxation include, Nose breathing, Dairy-free day, Memory Music, and Beans means Health, just to name a few. Each page contains a new technique to study and test out, with full colour images to assist in the study.

As the techniques are very modern age in style, this book will definitely appeal to those with this philosophy and belief system. There will be many that flick through the pages and dismiss it as new-age hippy nonsense, so it is worth reviewing before you invest in this book for either yourself or a friend or relative.
