Customer Reviews

A useable resource...

This ia a pretty well done text. It proved to be a valuable resource with the construction of my sauna.

Good, but with one caution

This book is a good introduction for the newcomer. It contains much useful information, including a discussion of health benefits that is not overstated. The price is right, as well. My only complaint is the implication that there is a right way and a wrong way to sauna. With regard to maximum measurable health benefits, the author may be correct. However, half the magic of the sauna is developing a routine that is comfortable and enjoyable. While I recommend this book, I would also encourage others to visit the Finnish Sauna Society's website, or Mikkel Aaland's website entitled "Sweat". Using his name as a keyword should get you there. In this way the reader can review the many aspects of the sauna. Enjoy! David Prescott
