When the time comes to study further, Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart is an incredibly useful and approachable resource. It is basically a glossary of common emotions, but they’re grouped by similarities and described with her charm and wisdom.

I switched from from beer to flavored carbonated water. This was 18 years ago though and the options were pretty limited back then. Mostly it was just artificially sweetened garbage.

The last book I read that discussed fats is a bit out of date (The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease by Daniel Lieberman), but it has an interesting explanation of the differences between saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats. Then the author reveals the plot twist that well… maybe the different fats don’t actually make that much difference once they’re in the body and that current research is still unclear.
