Written with clarity and conviction, the book emphasizes natural methods of maintaining health, advocating for moderation, vegetarianism, and a life of balance and restraint.

Gandhi's advice ranges from diet and hygiene to the importance of personal responsibility in maintaining one's own vitality. His approach reveals the unity of physical, mental, and ethical health as essential to a fulfilling life.For modern readers and listeners, A Guide to Health remains a timeless call to simplicity. It invites us to consider how conscious choices in daily living—what we eat, how we care for ourselves, and how we view health—can shape a more meaningful existence.

  F Scott Fitzgerald - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
