UPDATE: October 5 - a few months after buying the EMF meter author recommends. What he says in the book is spot on and lines up with what the meter says. His interventions work. I followed his advice, and tested before/after and saw radiation levels drop from deep in the red danger zone to well within the green safe zone. I don’t know what motivates people to say things like I read in the top two reviews, but keep in mind that there are a lot of people very vested in maintaining the status quo by discrediting those attempting to take a stand and educate others. Think about all the businesses that stand to lose money should eMF dangers be more clear and well known. I was in medicine, and it’s a similar dynamic at play there - so much resistance against the tide of new information that threatens the old paradigms. The book is perfect - accessible to the layperson, provides easy and cheap solutions, and importantly, provides advice on how to prove it to yourself (just get a meter if you want to test his claims).
I bought this book when I realized that I was becoming very agitated/tense/angry during iPhone use. I was curious as to whether there was something about the technology itself that might be causing the agitation. I went down the rabbit hole, and landed on this book (at the recommendation of a doctor in a FB group of integrative physicians).
This book was such an eye opener for me. I changed so many of my habits immediately as a result of this book. I turned off my wifi and switched entirely to ethernet connections in the entire house. I turn off the circuit breakers to my bedroom at night. I put timers on my outlets, and stopped using my laptop while it is charging. And most significantly - I got rid of my iPhone altogether and switched to a "dumb" phone that does two things: calls and texts. No apps, no internet browsing, no games. None of that mindless crap that was making me agitated and tense.
My anxiety is almost gone, my sleep has improved tremendously, and I have better dream recall as a result of turning off the breakers at night. I've tested this several times, thinking its a coincidence - breakers on, no dream recall. Breakers off, dream recall. It's crazy to me. And - unrelated to emfs -- without that iphone demanding my attention all the time, I am so much more engaged in actual life. My dogs are even visibly less agitated. My rat terrier is less aggressive and territorial after a night spent in the room with the breakers off. I've tested this a bunch of times, too, thinking I was imagining the change or attributing it to the breaker thing when it had nothing to do with that. But it's consistent and I'm a believer now.
I just ordered the EMF meter the author recommends to see where else I need to intervene to limit my emf exposure.
Ignore the bad reviews - specifically the one by the engineer.
The electrical engineer whose review is so disparaging is an example of the way people flash fancy degrees to try to make it appear as though scientists/engineers have some sort of exclusive claim on knowledge and some special ability to interpret it. He attempts to discredit the author in his review by pointing out that RF/EM/DE etc are all subsets of the same thing, when the author distinguishes between them. Well....there is a very good reason the author distinguishes between the types of EMF, and the fact that the reviewer doesn't realize that makes me wonder whether he actually read the book. It's not like anyone with a scientific background or a high standard for evidence would agree with his criticism. I also am an MD, since we are throwing degrees around, and again, this book came recomended by a group of physicians.
The author admits upfront that he is a guy with no formal education related to the content of the book, and many times as he writes, he acknowledges that some of the claims made in his book and elsewhere both seem "woo-woo" and do not yet have sufficient evidence to make confident assertions. When that is the case, he refrains from recommending action. For example, he won't endorse any brands of radiation blocking equiptment because the science just isn't there for a lot of it. But where there is sufficient evidence, he presents it and follows with strategies for minimizing your exposure to it. This book doesn't set out to be an academic text regurgitating established research and endless citations. That EMFs are dangerous is a novel idea to most scientists and laypeople alike. The research that does exist - and there's enough of it to be very convincing - is made accessible to the layperson in this book. The author encourages the reader to take control of the process and test things for him/herself - get an EMF meter! Measure the radiation in your environment yourself! See what effect your interventions have on those levels - and assess how you feel.
I will agree that the citations are inadequate in some places - not even close to being specific enough to be acceptable - but the points the author makes are redundant enough, and the citations sufficient in the majority of the book, so it really doen't matter at all.
The author of this book is a humble person who admits his limitations upfront, and then proceeds to blow your mind with what he has uncovered about the dangers of EMFs and to enlighten the reader as to easy, budget friendly ways to protect yourself. Excellent book; life changing for me.

About the author
The most comprehensive and readable book I have come across on EMFs
This book is an absolute gold mine. I was impressed from the get-go at how the author was able to condense such a depth and breadth of information into such a readable form. A very worthwhile read.
