Critics Review
“Andy Boyle strikes again! Big Problems is funny and accessible and ultimately inspiring.” –Michael Kruse, Senior Staff Writer for POLITICO and POLITICO Magazine“Self-help books can be a drag – that’s why Andy’s book is so refreshing. The prose is crisp, fresh and funny, devoid of pretension and judgment. The encouraging and funny tone is a welcome counterpoint to similar guides that may leave us feeling failure rather than realizing our own strengths.” — John Wenz, science journalist and author of The Lost Planets“What diet trend has piqued your curiosity? Workout fad? However you want to tame your waistline — fasting, CrossFit, fat freezing — Andy’s tried it. This book opened my eyes to the cultural, scientific and economic underpinnings behind why we eat the (generally crappy) way we do — and how all of us can pivot toward a healthier future.” — Alex Richards, Pulitzer finalist and Syracuse University assistant journalism professor
