Discover 'Sit Better' by Dr. Turner Osler, a comprehensive book on active sitting's benefits to posture, core strength, and overall health, available on QOR360.
Optimize your health and longevity
“Sit Better” is a groundbreaking guide to the complicated, counterintuitive world of sitting. Author Dr. Turner Osler is a retired surgeon and a lifelong academic researcher with interests in public health and epidemiology. Throughout this book, he carefully shows that our switch to a chair-centered life has been a catastrophe for our posture, our core strength, our back health, and especially to our overall wellbeing. Sitting shortens our lives by two years on average. Although the book intends to show the inherent dangers of sitting, it also offers hopeful guidance so readers can avoid the harms of sitting and optimize their health and longevity.

Should the seated human body be externally supported with back, neck and arm rests? No. Is working in a standing position safer than sitting? No, in fact it can be twice as deadly. Read this book to find out why.
