Issue #10: Where should I start with exercise?

And a Chickpea and Mushroom Stew recipe

I wanted to start by thanking everyone who ordered, bought, read, shared or gifted a copy of 7 Principles of Healthy Eating, and for the wonderful messages and comments. This book has been a real labour of love - the result of many hundreds of hours work by a whole team of fantastic people. Your support means the world, and we really do appreciate your encouraging feedback. If you would be so kind as to take a quick moment to leave a 5 star review on Amazon or Waterstones I'd be so grateful as it really does help.

1.📚Deep Work by Cal Newport here.  Many of us now spend most of our brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether it be because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy workspaces or too many things demanding our attention at once. Newport coined the term 'deep work' on his blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, and found the concept quickly struck a nerve. Most people are excruciatingly familiar with the idea of shallow work, distractedly skimming the surface of our workload and never getting to the important part. So Newport began exploring the methods and mindset that foster a practice of distraction-free productivity at work, and in this book he shows how anyone can achieve this elusive state.
