Clean: The New Science of Skin and the Beauty of Doing Less by James Hamblin

4.0

4.5 stars

This book was fascinating and funnier than I expected. I really appreciated the author's wry and accessible style of writing, which made it both informative and a pleasure for a layperson like me to read. I got a lot out of it, and he made me think a great deal about my own habits and the kinds of changes I might want to make, changes that would be beneficial to both my own health and to the environment. Microbiome research is an exciting field, and I'm always glad to see books shining a light on it. I'm optimistic that the field will lead to some real innovations in health care, and I appreciated the scientists highlighted in this book.
