Aamir Malik, PhD
Aamir Saeed Malik is Professor at Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic, where he heads the Cognitive & Neural Engineering Research Group. He came to health the long way round — a PhD in mechatronics first, then three decades using brain imaging to catch stress, anxiety and depression at their earliest signs. That engineer’s habit of asking where a system fails is what produced this book. His work has earned more than 13,000 citations and seven patents; his five previous books were written for scientists. This is his first for the people the science was meant to help.

You have to find the floor — and fix that.
You’ve been doing everything right. So why don’t you feel well?
You sleep, mostly. You walk. You eat better than most. You take the supplements. And still — the afternoon fog, the sleep that doesn’t restore, the weight that won’t move, the sense that something is quietly off.
Most of what ails us is built at home, in the ordinary shape of a day. So if your lifestyle is what’s making you sick, your lifestyle is where the cause is hiding.
Health is not a collection of parts. It is one system standing on five pillars — habits, connection, sleep, movement and food — and like any chain, it fails at its weakest link. Strengthening what is already strong changes nothing. Fix the Floor gives you what no single-fix book can: a way to see all five at once, score them honestly, and find the one worth changing first.
The book is one method, in three moves.

Measure yourself
