Buffalo defensive back Damar Hamlin collided with Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin popped right up and almost immediately took a staggering step backwards and collapsed like a rag doll onto his back, suffering cardiac arrest. As players from both teams wandered around in various stages of emotional distress, as television capturing the increasingly perilous scene, the NFL's first impulse was to be inexcusably dilatory about calling off the game. Coaches Sean McDermott and Zac Taylor took action, immediately and forcefully, using the undeniable moral leverage they have as the people whose bodies are on the line. In hindsight, it may seem like it should have been the most obvious decision in the world, but it appeared more like one forced upon the NFL office by the people in constant peril on the field.

The feeling of unease that rippled through the culture after the atomic bomb was invented had an indelible influence on Don DeLillo, one of America's great novelists of the 20th century. A writer who straddles Pynchonesque conspiracies with a good helping of existential dread and hope, he has a gift for dialogue reminiscent of an early Wes Anderson movie (or better yet, Anderson's early movies have the rat-a-tat dialogue and set pieces of a DeLillo novel). "I think my work is influenced by the fact that we're living in dangerous times," DeLillo told The Chicago Tribune in 2012. "If I could put it in a sentence, in fact, my work is about just that: living in dangerous times." |

When I'm looking for answers, what I don't want is unnecessary fluff. I'm a total nerd for science-heavy books, but I also appreciate great storytelling. And here's a dirty secret: whether heavy in Buddhism, psychotherapy, neuroscience, breathwork, forest bathing, or crystals—even a mash-up of several modalities—many of these books arrive at a similar place. They raise our consciousness and provide relief, giving us a sense of agency and instructions on how to arrive at our authentic selves. Listed in no particular order, here are our thirty essential wellness books. No matter what you're going through, there's something here to help everyone. |
