Eat Your Ice Cream | Ezekiel J. Emanuel

Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life

Extended Synopsis

Every day brings a tidal wave of attention-grabbing misinformation, faddish ideas from wellness influencers, and bizarre advice from news outlets over-extrapolating the results of tiny, outlier studies. The "Wellness Industrial Complex" prescribes conflicting and complicated regimens while promising us more time to enjoy in the future—though it sure is demanding a lot of time right now. 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 humor, giving readers just what they need: simple, high-impact, evidence-based guidelines on such issues as alcohol consumption, food and nutrition, exercise, sleep, mental acuity, and social engagement.

Resisting the tide of the latest trends to extend life at all costs, this guide reveals that many of the tools for a long, healthy, and meaningful life are already within reach. Pairing common sense with uncommon wisdom based on decades of expertise, Dr. Emanuel helps us consider which lifestyle changes are worth making and how to most easily implement them for longer, healthier, and happier lives.
