This book is a riveting, interesting and entertaining all in one, and most importantly… A reminder to yourself to Do You and not get caught up in this staged online world.

10% Human

I am utterly fascinated with the Microbiome (IK IK how can you not be), You may ask, Where did this adventure begin? RIGHT HERE! Opening the pages of this book (…with my kindle) and being slaped with facts like – the vast majority of Cells and Genes in our bodies, ARE NOT OURS! Pause for mind explosion! AND if that weren’t enough, learning that everything from our emotional well-being and physical health is influenced by these external, foreign cells. Who are they? MICROBES! Trillions of bacteria who call our meat-suits their home. I will forever be in debt to this book!

Anyway, this tale of overcoming adversity and channeling pure grit to keep pushing after so much shit happened exemplifies the power of mindset. My favorite quote: “ The Cowards Never started and the weak died along the way. That leaves us, ladies and Gentlemen. Us.” I mean, come Onn!
