"If you want to understand the strange workings of the human body, and the future of medicine, you must read this illuminating, engaging book." —Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Gene
In 2014, James Hamblin launched a series of videos for The Atlantic called "If Our Bodies Could Talk." With it, the doctor-turned-journalist established himself as a seriously entertaining authority in the field of health. Now, in illuminating and genuinely funny prose, Hamblin explores the human stories behind health questions that never seem to go away—and which tend to be mischaracterized and oversimplified by marketing and news media. He covers topics such as sleep, aging, diet, and much more:
• Can I “boost” my immune system?
• Does caffeine make me live longer?
• Do we still not know if cell phones cause cancer?
• How much sleep do I actually need?
• Is there any harm in taking a multivitamin?
• Is life long enough?
In considering these questions, Hamblin draws from his own medical training as well from hundreds of interviews with distinguished scientists and medical practitioners. He translates the (traditionally boring) textbook of human anatomy and physiology into accessible, engaging, socially contextualized, up-to-the-moment answers. They offer clarity, examine the limits of our certainty, and ultimately help readers worry less about things that don’t really matter.
If Our Bodies Could Talk is a comprehensive, illustrated guide that entertains and educates in equal doses.

本書的作者 James Hamblin 是我關注瞭兩年多的醫學記者/網絡人物。最早是通過 The Atlantic 的視頻係列[ If Our Bodies Could Talk ]而對他産生瞭興趣(或者說 crush...)。這些視頻一般隻有三四分鍾,但標題卻起得很大。比如:“讓我們談談女性性高潮”、“獨自睡覺有什麼好處...

講的都是目前最新的對身體各部位的研究發現,挺有意思的,隻是太多專有名詞,似懂非懂,這類書可能還是看譯本會省力些,有機會再翻一遍。
評分這是一本很有意思的書。作者講述的故事很獨到,告訴我們什麼是真正的常識和智慧。
評分和作者一樣可愛。
