The BooksWagon Stall saw a bustling crowd to hear from Dr. Shiv Sarin. He is already a widely renowned official, and doctor. He needed no introduction as he audience themselves were considering this as a once in a lifetime experience, just like us at BooksWagon.
The podcast began with his wise insights where he highlighted the increasing neglect on one’s health. He stressed upon the fact that people were actually not treating themselves despite uneasiness – this is due to the huge imbalance in their modern world-life balance. He showed us excerpt from his best book Own Your Body where he has addressed the health issues, it’s consequences, and it’s cure. He also urged readers to take as much prevention possible, especially for the young generation, and understand that their body should be their priority. He himself talked about the diseases he has, and how he regrets losing the golden period of his age and did not actually care about his health, hence he chose the title Own Your Body for his book so that people too own their issues and address them before it is too late.
