Reviewing a self-help book is different than reviewing most other types of books. With a self-help book, you are not much interested in the writers style, his command of the language, etc. Instead, what matters for the most part is the effectiveness of what the book is teaching. I read the Kindle version of this book which may be missing some illustrations and could use some formatting improvements, but is otherwise the same as the printed version.

    Earthing is about a simple concept: we all need to connect to the earth, not just in a figurative sense as with environmentalism, but in a very literal sense. Our ancestors ran around barefoot and slept on the ground and had far fewer health problems than we have today. Today we wear shoes nearly all the time, especially when we're outside, and we sleep in beds that are off the ground and insulated from it. This separation from the earth is preventing us from taking in free electrons that are plentiful in the ground and which are the best natural fighter of free-radicals.
