After decades of affluence, we’re busy renovating our homes, buffing and botoxing our bodies and losing ourselves in passive entertainment and shopping, as depression and anxiety soar. And with the arrival of Netflix and Uber Eats, there’s less and less incentive to leave home. Could our constant need for connection be messing with our brains?

And given that so many of our kids lack one-on-one attention and regular touch, are we raising this new generation to be profoundly lonely?

From the schoolyard to the workplace, from political rallies to social media feeds, we are constantly influenced by the groups around us. Sometimes that influence is benign, even beneficial—it helps communities function, ensures cooperation, and keeps social life flowing smoothly. At other times, it can lead to silence in the face of injustice, blind obedience to authority, or the chilling grip of groupthink. Why We Conform explores this paradox in depth, revealing why the desire to fit in runs so deep, how it shapes our daily lives, and what happens when it goes too far.

Our nation is in an existential struggle pitting our democracy against the forces of autocracy. America’s growing inequalities in income and wealth and persistent racial inequities have divided our country, polarized our politics, and unleashed our tribal instincts.

Is our hybrid human nature compatible with egalitarian democracy?

Tracing culinary customs from the Stone Age to the stovetop range, from the raw to the nuked, this book elucidates the factors and myths shaping Americans' eating habits.
