The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris

Review ★★★★

This was excellent. I was thoroughly impressed with the way Teddy was able to battle through chronic illness as a child and the method through which he did so, freezing cold dips in the river. I believe the power of cold is only now beginning to be realised by scientists and physiologists but all of us could benefit from taking cold showers, often if not daily.

Read in 2017.
