ICYMI Health features what we’re reading this week.
In honor of one of our favorite holidays this week — as long as we’re not seated next to our crazy uncle at the dinner table, that is — we read up on gratitude, empathy and of course, food.Â
One columnist advised that we worry less about feeling “authentic†gratitude for the big things in our lives and spend more time taking stock of ordinary, everyday pleasures.
Another writer explored how live-action role-play, a subculture that hinges on imagination and make-believe, can actually increase empathy among adults.
And finally, we spent time with the review of new book on the sticky history of picky eating, including the powerful forces in childhood that set the stage for poor eating habits later in life and how we can undo the damage as adults.Â
