Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Are office meetings actually worth the time they take up? Am I spending enough time with my children? Should I worry about binge-watching TV? What time should I go to bed? And breathe … We make, and worry about, a thousand big and little decisions during our waking hours. With precision and wit, award-winning public health expert Timothy Caulfield analyses these dilemmas —from the moment we wake up to when we go to sleep – and the innumerable cultural, social and psychological forces shaping the decisions we make. Too often these decisions are dictated by concerns or beliefs about our world that simply aren’t true. Caulfield shows that these misperceptions unnecessarily stress us out and cause us to waste time and money. Relax reveals a science-informed way out of this mess, helping put your mind at ease.
