‘A provocative, practical read on how to lead a healthy life … debunks disinformation, punctures pseudoscience and reveals what really counts for longevity.’
– Adam Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential

Everyone wants to live a full and healthy life – but what actually matters most to our health and longevity? What has the most robust, actionable evidence?

In Eat Your Ice Cream, renowned physician Ezekiel J. Emanuel argues that life is not a competition to live the longest and that ‘wellness’ shouldn’t be difficult; it should be an invisible part of one’s lifestyle that yields maximum health benefits with the least work.

Dr Emanuel cuts through the noise with wit and good humour, giving readers simple, high-impact, evidence-based guidelines on alcohol consumption, nutrition, exercise, sleep, mental acuity and social engagement. Readers will come away with greater clarity and a deeper understanding of what really matters for well-being – connection, purpose and sustainable choices backed by rigorous science.
