The Science Class You Never Got In School
This book is mind-blowing. Reading it feels like the first time I got a pair of glasses in the right prescription. Bret and Heather teach readers how evolution works, and why; how it shaped us and the world in which we live; and how to work with and not against our deepest nature. The chapters on food, sleep, and school are especially important. I learned why some changes I’d already made are working, and know better how to plan further ones to help myself. The best part is that they teach us how to think, not what to think. I never felt equipped to think about science before, and it’s absolutely transformative. This book is a gift, a toolkit to solve important problems. Get one for every parent, teacher, or teenager you know.
