Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called "Thinking" to help students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university's most popular courses. Now, for the first time, Ahn presents key insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone. She shows how "thinking problems" stand behind a wide range of challenges, from common, self-inflicted daily aggravations to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Throughout, Ahn draws on decades of research from other cognitive psychologists, as well as from her own groundbreaking studies. And she presents it all in a compellingly readable style that uses fun examples from pop culture, anecdotes from her own life, and illuminating stories from history and the headlines.

The expression MAZAL TOV is a Hebrew locution that translates as "good luck". It is a wish that is expressed aloud in Jewish celebrations and its meaning is "I am looking forward to good things happening to you".

Freedom with Food and Fitness will be the first book about intuitive eating that actually provides focus on intuitive movement and fitness, the ninth principle of the intuitive eating philosophy. It will guide readers through the core principles of intuitive eating, how and why diet culture leads us to become disordered dieters, and how we can rebuild our relationship with our minds and bodies through mindset work and practical advice around food and fitness... There is a hole in the intuitive eating book market where there should be one that focuses on how to incorporate exercise into eating disorder recovery; "diet and exercise" are typically discussed as a pair, after all. Freedom with Food and Fitness differs from all other intuitive eating books in the diet and fitness niche in that it actually focuses heavily on fitness. Even though "gentle movement" is one of the core principles of intuitive eating, no books on the market focus on the fitness aspect of recovery and one's relationship with their body.
