Buy this book: Robb Wolf's The Paleo Solution

Look at a list of great American inventors and you'll see they are hard-working tinkerers, not career academics or grand theoreticians.  Franklin, Bell, Edison, Ford, the Wright brothers.  Perspiration is more important than inspiration.  Most innovation happens on the shop room floor.  Ideas matter, but the ideas *have to work*.  Robb  Wolf and the growing the paleo movement (De Vany, Cordain, Sisson, and many others) sit squarely in that great tradition of American innovation.  Except it's not simple machines we're tinkering with, but the ever more complex human body.

Robb Wolf's book, The Paleo Solution, is about methods that work.  Good ideas...put into practice.  Because all the evolutionary theory in the world is just a nice story if it doesn't work.  If you read this book, you'll see that the conventional wisdom of whole grains, low fat/high carb doesn't work.  You'll see how chronic cardio doesn't work.  Same with vegetarianism -- and Robb doesn't criticize vegetarianism from afar, he did vegetarianism.  And it didn't work.

Most people are hard-pressed to be either a good scientist or a good trainer.  Robb Wolf is both.  You can read The Paleo Solution just for practical advice on how to live healthier, or you could read it for an explanation of the science behind the approach.  Either way, the ideas and methods in this book will be judged by whether they solve problems in your life. That's why the title of the book is apt: The Paleo Solution.  Because it's about a solution to real problems, and the solution should be judged by whether it works.  And the best way to find out is to try.

Sales this week count toward the best-seller list, so if you are going to buy it, please pull the trigger!  We will be having a book release party and book signing on Saturday night with Robb -- we're already at capacity at 100 people, but I'm overly-optimistic about how many people my apartment can hold.  Sign up here.
