From the international bestselling author of Gut, an entertaining and highly informative book about how the body’s organs work in tandem to keep us as healthy as we can be.
In a world that is becoming ever louder and more complex, sometimes the best perspective is to look inward—at our own physicality. For thousands of years, our bodies have faced challenges and found their own unique ways to overcome them. What can we learn from these extraordinarily complex beings?
In her new book, internationally renowned medical expert and star of Netflix’s Hack Your Health Giulia Enders embarks on a journey of discovery into our inner workings, raising fundamental questions:
- What can the immune system teach us about security?
- How does the process of wound-healing inform our understanding of emotional recovery?
- What do we truly need to thrive?
- What are we capable of when we achieve peak health?
- How do we truly want to treat one another?
Our bodies offer fascinating answers to all these questions, transforming our perspective on life itself. With the latest scientific insights and her unmatched talent for making complex concepts vividly accessible, Giulia Enders inspires a deep appreciation for something that is both intimately familiar yet profoundly mysterious—the very basis for how we find our happiest selves.
