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.
