In just a few generations, the staples of the American diet have changed. We know that our food is making us unhealthy. But it’s also making us unhappy. It’s no coincidence that rates of both obesity and depression have doubled in the last decade. We are what we eat, and if it’s the Standard American Diet (or the SAD Diet), we’re priming ourselves for a lifetime of unhappiness.

While many books have examined the ways in which food impacts our physical health, The Happiness Diet is the first one to clearly elucidate the link between how we eat and how we feel. Happiness is a biological event, and in order for our brains to fire on all cylinders, they must be properly nourished. Our neurotransmitters rely on vital nutrients like manganese, B vitamins, and healthy fats to do their jobs— and if we’re feeding our brains the SAD Diet, we’re sabotaging our mental health.

In The Happiness Diet, readers will learn the simple changes that make a big difference in how they feel. With food lists, shopping tips, brain-building recipes, a Happiness Food Pyramid, and other tools, Graham and Dr. Ramsey empower readers to build a better brain and reclaim happiness.

Drew Ramsey, MD, is an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, where he specializes in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders. He lives in New York City.

In an era of corporate greed, Bob Moore’s philosophy of putting people before profit is a shining example of what’s right about America. Instead of selling out to numerous bidders who would have made him a very wealthy man, the founder of Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods gave the $100 million company to his employees.

Bob Moore’s gift on February 15, 2010 (his 81st birthday) gave hope to an American workforce rocked by a decade of CEOs behaving badly. The national media heralded the announcement as the “feel good story of the recession.” It was an example of a return to ethics in the workplace, but as the legions of fans of Bob’s whole grain natural products would argue, ethics and a sense of corporate responsibility didn’t “return” to Bob’s Red Mill, they never left.

Most 60-year-old men who saw their business destroyed in an arson fire might have quit or faded away into retirement. Not Bob. After his wooden flour mill burned to the ground in 1988, he considered the 17 employees who counted on him for their livelihood, and started over. He rebuilt, and flourished. He grew the company to become the nation’s leading manufacturer of whole grain natural foods.

Bob’s is an amazing story of overcoming challenges and making great comebacks. His wife, Charlee, was the inspiration to feed the family healthy natural foods, but it was a divine appointment with a random library book titled John Goffe’s Mill that began Bob’s love affair with the ancient art of milling, using stone wheels to slowly grind grains into nutritious whole wheat flours, cereals, and mixes. His unconventional thinking and passion for healthy living is an inspirational story for readers of all ages.
