I was skeptical of the name.However, I leafed through it (and many other asthma books) in a brick and mortar store before I bought this book.And I am so grateful!It's easy to read, but doesn't shy away from the technical and biological concepts you should know.It has nice diagrams for those of us who need the visuals to understand somewhat complicated biology.I feel so much more informed about my disease after having read this book.I feel like I can talk with my doctors and know what questions to ask them, and understand their responses!I can honestly say that after reading this book, I was able to advocate for my own health enough that I feel I can breathe properly and happily now.
There are medications and small lifestyle changes out there that can improve an asthmatic's quality of life immensely.But it is important first to understand the disease itself and then what each medication or technique may do to help.This book is a good start, and I highly recommend taking the step to improve your well-being.
