Everyone knows that  timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our  lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a  business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make  those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it's often  assumed, is an art. In “When”, Pink shows that timing is really a  science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology,  and economics, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing  and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with  irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers  compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.

Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes 

[Health]

 17 min read

overview

Why do we grow fat?   What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods  should we eat, and what foods should we avoid? Gary Taubes is an  American journalist, writer, and low-carbohydrate diet advocate. “Why We  Get Fat” is an eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes  us fat. Taubes argued that our diet’s overemphasis on certain kinds of  carbohydrates — not fats and not simply excess calories — has led  directly to the obesity epidemic we face today. It is a two-part book  that presents the evidence against the calories-in/calories-out  hypothesis, and the way society feels about obesity and weight loss.

You Can Buy Happiness (And It’s Cheap) by Tammy Strobel 

[Happiness]

 16 min read

overview

Life doesn’t have to  be about material items and rushing from one item on your to-do list to  the next. Why not take the time to notice the small joys in life?   Author of the blog “Rowdy Kittens”, Tammy Strobel spent much of her life  buying items, getting into debt and working to pay it off. Then she  learned something new — downsizing can help you increase your happiness  and wellbeing.  Living the life you want rather than the one you think  you need is the key to gratitude and joy. “You Can Buy Happiness” will  open your eyes to the endless possibilities if you simply choose to need  less.  “Happiness research has shown that people who savor life experiences are  less neurotic and more self-confident.” ~ Tammy Strobel
