This is a good book to read if youve been newly diagnosed or have a relative suffering from joint discomfort.
As a longterm arthritis patient my main complaint is that this book deemphasises any talk of pain management.

I'm not sure who this book would actually benefit, since it tries to do too much at once.

Also, there's a line about "if you have rheumatoid arthritis, don't get fat" that made me feel flames on the side of my face.
