A good story about becoming exposed to meditation from a skeptics point of view, and a look into some of the more practical benefits of meditation. Less about the new age, mystical, enlightenment side and more about simply controlling the voice in your head and being more in the present moment.

Good for its promotion of eating fatty and cholesterol rich foods, the role inflammation can play in health, and suggesting intermittent fasting. If you are gluten sensitive then the book applies to you, otherwise it tries a bit too hard to demonize carbs and gluten. One chapter is literally titled “How gluten robs you and your children's peace of mind.” I don't think this could be any more of a sensationalist scare tactic.

As good as an economics book can be. A nice refresher for everything I'd forgotten since Econ 101.
