RELAX, DAMMIT!

• From the host and creator of the international hit TV series, A User's Guide to Cheating Death (distributed in 67 territories including the US, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Hong Kong, Portugal, Israel, and much of Africa and Europe), Relax Dammit! explores the available scientific information about health, happiness and life's daily stresses.

Whether consciously or not, we make hundreds (perhaps thousands!) of decisions every single day, and many of those decisions are based, to a lesser or greater extent, on misinformation. In Relax, Dammit!, Timothy Caulfield brings the rigor of science to his analysis of many of the things that we stress about in a typical day, from what time we should wake up, to how many cups of coffee we should drink, to how our kids should get to school, to whether or not that Twitter rant is going to make us feel better, to which wine to have with dinner.

Structured around the unfolding of a typical day (with helpful section headers for readers to dip in and out of at their leisure and convenience), Caulfield highlights those daily choices that do matter—providing science-backed guidance on the best course of action for our greatest health and happiness—and which decisions we can all relax about and when we can simply do what feels right.

Citing his own conversations with scientists and drawing from studies from around the world, Caulfield separates the science from the pseudoscience. He writes with humour and frankness, and draws from personal experience, and the result is an accessible and practical guide to living.

• An ideal next book for fans of Daniel Gilbert's international bestselling Stumbling on Happiness, Ben Goldacre's popular scientific debunking of pseudoscience, and AJ Jacobs' more fun, experiential journalism, Relax Dammit! will also highlight what science says we should be worried about and how we can de-stress and live a healthy lifestyle.

TIMOTHY CAULFIELD, LLM, FRSC, FCAHS is a lawyer, professor, and renowned bioethicist whose work has been published in Nature, Science, Cell, and The Lancet. He writes frequently for the popular press, and is the author of the bestselling Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything? (2016) and The Vaccination Picture (2017). He is also the host and creator of the Netflix series A User's Guide to Cheating Death, which explores the various methods, products, regimens, and treatments that promise life-extending health benefits. Tim debunks the pseudoscience behind a number of these phenomenon and provides viewers with tips that are scientifically-proven to promote longevity. The show—which has run for two seasons so far—is distributed in 67 territories and was recently named a Realscreen Award winner.
