In a world flooded with conflicting diet advice, how do we choose what to eat? Renowned Stanford nutrition scientist discusses the findings of his over two dozen studies to end the diet wars, debunk myths, and provide health insights to inform our everyday food choices.Diet is the most under-appreciated, underutilized factor in preventing disease. The food you consume each day has a direct impact on how you feel in the short-term and on your long-term health, but so many of the health claims for food and nutrition can be confusing and contradictory. At the same time, food also means a lot more than sustenance to people. We need to enjoy it, and it needs to align with our sense of who we are; otherwise, the dietary choices we make are not going to last. This includes health, taste and pleasure, culture, and our values such as climate and environment, animal welfare, and the conditions of workers. For decades, Stanford nutrition scientist Dr. Christopher Gardner has been on the front lines of nutrition research, leading groundbreaking clinical trials that cut through the noise and uncover what truly supports long-term health. Now, in this accessible and myth-busting guide, he addresses your nutrition questions on everything from weight loss to cholesterol, seed oils, plant-based meats, ultra processed foods, protein, GMOS, fads, fibers, fermented foods, and much more. Plus, he shows you how to put all this knowledge together in the kitchen by providing some of his favorite recipes. Food Sense will inspire you to change your diet to include more plants and less processed food and sugar and, most importantlyto enjoy your food.

An NPR Best Book of the Year | USA TODAY Bestseller This revolutionary approach to cleaning and organizing helps free you from feeling ashamed or overwhelmed by a messy home.If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you. In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as “I can never keep up” and a chaotic kitchen as “I’m a bad mother.” Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, “I am alive,” and at stacks of dishes and thought, “I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row.” Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to simplify your to-do list and to find creative workarounds that accommodate your limited time and energy. In this book, you’ll learn exactly how to customize your cleaning strategy and rebuild your relationship with your home, including: -How to see chores as kindnesses to your future self, not as a reflection of your worth -How to start by setting priorities -How to stagger tasks so you won’t procrastinate -How to clean in quick bursts within your existing daily routine -How to use creative shortcuts to transform a room from messy to functional With KC’s help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. It will become a place to rest, even when things aren’t finished. You will move with ease, and peace and calm will edge out guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists. They have no place here.

Social media phenomenon and mental health advocate Chris Olsen invites readers into his therapists officeand into the story hes spent years trying to understandin this raw, fearless, and darkly funny memoir.For much of his childhood, Chris Olsen believed his family was ordinary, even idyllic. Then, at thirteen years old, everything changed. When his mother revealed she was an alcoholic, the foundation beneath him cracked open, exposing secrets, struggles, and generational wounds that would shape the course of his life. Years later, determined to make sense of a story that often felt written for him rather than by him, Chris returns to the moments that defined him. Guided by conversations with his therapist, Lizzie, he revisits the memories hes spent years avoiding: hiding his sexuality from the people he loved, navigating his parents tumultuous divorce, surviving toxic relationships, watching his mother cycle through treatment centers, and eventually confronting his own addiction. With the same sharp humor, emotional honesty, and magnetic storytelling that have won over millions of followers, Chris peels back the layers of his public persona to reveal the messy, complicated truths underneath. As he reckons with the gap between the version of himself the world came to know online and the person struggling, grieving, and growing behind the screen, he asks a universal question: Who are we when no one is watching? By turns hilarious, heartbreaking, and deeply hopeful, I Think My Therapist Hates Me is a personal exploration of the stories we inherit, the identities we construct, and the courage it takes to face ourselves honestly. Its a heartfelt reminder that self-discovery is messy, recovery is hard-won, and becoming the author of your own life begins with telling yourself the truth.
