Sweating may be one of our weirdest biological functions, but it’s also one of our most vital and least understood. In The Joy of Sweat, Sarah Everts delves into its role in the body - and in human history. Everts’ entertaining investigation takes listeners around the world - from Moscow, where she participates in a dating event in which people sniff sweat in search of love, to New Jersey, where companies hire trained armpit sniffers to assess the efficacy of their anti-sweat products. Along the way, Everts traces humanity’s long quest to control sweat.

Five Stars and Two Thumbs Up!…
Revisado: 07-26-21
In the NYT book review, THE JOY OF SWEAT was noted as “an entertaining and illuminating guide to the necessity and virtues of perspiration” and the author, Sarah Everts, as a “crisp and lively writer.” I’d have to agree with that. The book is a delightful, somewhat encyclopedic adventure… filled throughout with more scientific and unexpected facts than you can imagine complimented by an engaging and thoughtful narrative (with more than a few dashes of humour as the story progresses). The narration in the Audible audiobook version (done by Sophie Amoss) is truly outstanding… probably the best narration I’ve ever heard (and I’ve listened to hundreds of audiobooks over the last twenty years). All in all, I’d say this one is Five Stars plus Two Thumbs Up!
