Admittedly, it may be a bit below the reading level for the average user here but I can't recommend this book enough. Especially for those of us that sit in front of a computer all day. Take a look at the reviews at Amazon which are numerous and nearly unanimous. Do yourself a favour and give it read.
I know the description sounds a bit too good to be true, but it really will start you on the road to learning how the foods you're eating are likely causing, or at the very least exacerbating your various ailments, lack of energy, and weight problems, and how you can see astonishing improvement in just a few weeks by making better informed food choices.
BTW - I have no affiliation, just personal experience.
Among Others was one of the most enjoyable fiction reads. Beautiful. Prep was also surprisingly good, and not something I would usually have read.
Leading So People Will Follow surprisingly insightful and clearly actionable.
The Big Nerd Ranch's guide to iOS development carried me through last Christmas and the new year admirably. I haven't really read many programming books this year but it stands out as being well crafted.
