Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker

The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
Built around a viral two-word mantra — “let them” — Robbins argues that much of our stress comes from trying to manage other people’s behaviour, opinions and drama. The point isn’t passivity, but reclaiming your energy and focusing on what you can control (including your own next move).

Solve for Happy by Mo Gawdat
A former Google executive approaches happiness like an engineering problem: identify the faulty assumptions, correct the “illusions” that trip us up and build a more reliable mindset. It’s personal, too — shaped by grief after the death of his son, Ali, during routine surgery.

Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken
Van Tulleken investigates the rise of ultra-processed food — industrial formulations designed and marketed to be irresistible — and asks what that does to our bodies, weight and wider health. A big theme is that “willpower” isn’t the point when the environment is engineered against you.
