A body odyssey with guts, attitude and a bellyful of laughs. Get
ready for a madcap marathon through fact and fiction, adventure and
enlightenment, mix-ups and makeovers, inside and out. Jake and
Sally have a typically dysfunctional relationship, and it's all
fairly civilized ...on the outside. Inside Jake's body, however,
chaos reigns. Here, we meet the feisty, frustrated characters that
run the body's organs, grappling with indigestion, toxic overload,
arterial congestion, parasites, sexual mishaps, emotional baggage
and, finally, a coronary-which marks an important turning point for
Jake, a high-flying exec who's neglected his health. These gutsy
unsung heroes are constantly in crisis as they try to keep Jake's
body running smoothly. Their hilarious antics have them squabbling,
suffering burnout, going for therapy, messing with the brain's top
secret files, and being downright neurotic-until one of them has an
encounter with the soul. There's transformation inside and out,
with Jake making so many changes that Sally can't cope, and the
inside characters having epiphanies and an emotional shakedown that
results in multiple staff redundancies ...and a rather interesting
climax. You'll laugh as you learn ...about the nutritional,
emotional, physical and spiritual challenges of your amazing bod
and all the miraculous mechanisms that you take so much for
granted. With the growing worldwide trend towards greater
self-responsibility, this is the perfect gift for someone you
love-or someone who just doesn't get out much.
