The Body: A Guide for Occupants

by Bill Bryson

How does your body keep you alive without you even thinking about it?

Oh, this book is such a treat! The Body: A Guide for Occupants by Bill Bryson is like taking a quirky, fascinating tour of your own body—but with the funniest, smartest guide you can imagine. Bryson dives into how our bodies work (and sometimes don’t), with the perfect mix of jaw-dropping facts, weird little quirks, and stories of medical marvels. I found myself constantly saying, “Wait, what?!” while learning things I never knew about everything from our brains to our bones. It’s written with so much wit that it makes even the most complex science feel totally approachable. Trust me, you’ll walk away with a new appreciation for just how incredible—and sometimes bizarre—the human body really is!
