Food is complicated. And our relationships with food and eating are all kinds of fucked up. It doesn't help that cultural messages about health, diet, body image, and weight are fatphobic and often medically dangerous.
Dr. Faith Harper, author of the bestselling Unfuck Your Brain and Unfuck Your Body, brings her trademark combination of science, humor, and real talk to help us work through our food, health, and body image issues and develop a healthier relationship with food so that it can fuel us and bring us pleasure.
She delves into the difference between eating disorders and disordered eating and the causes and consequences of both, breaks down the difference between various behaviors, tackles trauma and other co-occurring conditions, and provides compassionate and practical steps to improve your eating habits and repair your relationship with yourself.

'This is a life-changing book. Read it three times and then give a copy

Why Are We Yelling is Buster Benson's essential guide to having more
honest and constructive arguments.
The way we argue is broken. Whether it’s about Brexit, the existence of
ghosts, the best burger in the city or who’s allowed to sit in your
favourite chair, we end up digging our heels in and yelling at one
another or choosing to avoid heated topics entirely. There has to be a
better way.
Buster Benson, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with two decades of
experience facilitating hard conversations at some of the biggest tech
companies in the world, recommends eight things to try in order to make
disagreements more productive. By applying these eight new habits, we
can flip frustrating, unproductive disagreements into ones that bear
fruit and bring people closer together.
In this book you'll master practical skills to make your disagreements
more productive by:
- Understanding four ways of disagreeing that are more valuable than
simply ‘winning’ the argument
- Identifying the kind of argument you’re having so you know how best
to negotiate it
- Articulating the best possible version of your opponent’s argument
before attacking it
With this toolkit we can explore more possibilities and perspectives in
the world, simply because we’ll no longer be afraid to wade into scary
topics of conversation.

Hello to you, I am with news. I have a new book: I Haven’t Been
Entirely Honest With You. I know – what an intriguing title!
Basically, I have had an unexpectedly difficult decade – there have
been surprising joys, but also deep revelations and challenging lows. I
shall be honest about those, because what I discovered in the difficult
times were my, what I call, treasures. Treasures – practical tools,
values, ways, answers researched from some great scientists,
neuroscientists, therapists, sociologists (all the ‘ists’) out there,
that have genuinely led to a sense of freedom, joy, peace and physical
recovery I never would have thought possible. Life now, amazingly, with
what I will share, is – SUCH FUN! (always important to quote your own
catch phrases. . .)
If you fancy having a read, then I hope my story might help your story.
After all, we are in this beautiful, mysterious, challenging life
together. Rest assured there are funny stories along the way – we will
have a laugh too, my dear reader chum. Oh, and I couldn’t possibly say
if there is a love story in it . . . (There is - shush) Exciting.
