The market is flooded with different book genres. However, health related books are gaining more popularity than ever before. People are also seeking solutions to their health conditions and living a healthier life. The challenge of finding suitable books from the health genre relates to time wasting, poor quality work, and unreasonable prices. Here are some tips to help you find a good health book:
Read Reviews
There are several sites on the internet dedicated to book reviews. If you have identified a book that you want to buy, read some reviews from other readers. The more popular a book is, the more likely a good review will be found. Reading reviews gives you a summary of the content and the general subject matter presented by the author. The reason why popular books about health like “The Obesity Code” gained popularity is because of author Jason Fung’s short and in-depth analysis of its content.
Author’s Unique Selling Point
Health is a unique genre because it requires sound medical opinions from doctors and other medical experts, However, there is also a lot of mistrust around their opinions. It can be hard for readers to know if the content is worth buying. Even popular subjects like romance are appreciated more when the author has some experience of the subject.
Good authors of any genre like health should create content that is easy for readers to relate to. The author’s own experiences should be reflected in the book’s content. This adds to the book’s authenticity and makes it easier to check the author’s unique selling point for accuracy. For example, if a book is talking about osteoarthritis and embracing an osteoarthritis diet, it should go further and explain the author’s knowledge and experience.
Reading reviews and checking an author’s selling point will result in fewer health books gathering dust on the shelf.
