Latest reading round-up
I start with a recommendation not from me.
I was sent ‘The Light Between Oceans’ by M. L. Steadman and passed it on to my mother as I knew it would be a long time until I got around to it. After doing nothing but read it from the moment she opened it, my mother commands that you read it. Yes, all of you. She is raving about it to everyone. So. Do as you’re told. I believe there’s a lighthouse, and a baby. (I haven’t read it yet because she is lending my copy around friends and neighbours. It will probably be 2017 before I get it back.)
I almost loved ‘Perfect’ by Rachel Joyce. It’s beautifully...

#MushroomHealth Summit Day 2 Recap: Blendability, Research Tidbits, and “Green” Mushrooms
Missing the Mushroom Health Summit? Be sure to read my Day 1 Recap. Disclosure: I’m working with the Mushroom Council to share information from the summit.
Before we kicked off day 2, I visited the mushROOM to learn more about the growing process for specialty mushroom. I’ve heard of oyster and shiitake mushrooms, but this was the first time I saw pom pom, maitake, and King oyster. Take a look. They are so interesting!

Magical Mushroom Recipes for Meatless Monday
Mushrooms are a vegetarian's BFF because their meat-like texture makes them the perfect stand-in for everything from burgers to brats, not to mention their own smoky, savory flavor. As an added benefit, mushrooms are a good source of filling fiber -- and the only natural plant source of vitamin D. Try one of these three meatless meals for your dinner tonight.

Finding Quiet and Mindfulness Through Food
Note from Leo: Jodi Ettenberg, author of The Food Traveler’s Handbook: How to Find Cheap, Safe and Delicious Food Anywhere in the World is a friend of mine, an amazing person, an accomplished world traveler. A former lawyer, she writes about the stories behind the foods we eat on her site, Legal Nomads. She gets the shakes if she goes too long without sticky rice.
And now I’ll turn it over to Jodi!
In the middle of a visit to Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, I found myself sitting on the floor of a temple kitchen, chopsticks in hand. The others in my group, a haphazard mix of people from my tiny guesthouse, were long go...

#MeatlessMonday Grocery Store Find: Nasoya TofuPlus
One of the disadvantages about going meatless is the possibility of skimping on some important nutrients like B vitamins and Zinc that are normally the most readily available in meats. But now with NaSoya's new "beefed-up" TofuPlus, a non-GMO tofu that's now fortified with 20 percent of the daily nutritional requirements of the vital nutrients most commonly found in meat, going veg is extra easy.

Liking Healthy Foods is a Choice
By Leo Babauta
I have a theory that I’ve been testing: whether you have a taste for a particular food is a choice.
I’m sure there are things you turn your nose up at: vegetables (lots of people), or kale (my kids), eggplant (Eva), tofu (many non-vegetarians), quinoa (crazy people), something.
But what I’ve learned is that tastes can change. In fact, we can change them on purpose:
I used to hate vegetables. Now I love them.
I used to hate soymilk when I first tried it. Now I drink it daily.
I didn’t like brown rice, about 10 years ago. Now I much prefer it to white rice (which has no substance)....

Creating Your Habit Environment
By Leo Babauta
Let’s imagine that you’re going to change your diet — you’re going from eating chips, ho-hos, Double Down Chicken Sandwiches and taco “meat” in a Dorito shell, to eating fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and whole grains.
Sound easy?
But when you’re stressed and tired from a long day of rebranding meetings and obsessively checking your Facebook, and don’t have much willpower, you’ll reach for the easiest snack, the thing you’re used to and comfortable with.
And when your co-workers or family breaks out the cupcakes or home-made cookies, you ...

The Flexible Mind
By Leo Babauta
When I reflect back on how much happier I am these days compared to my life about 8 years ago, I realize it’s not all a result of better habits (though that’s a part of it).
Here’s what I’ve changed that makes me happier:
Instead of stressing out about meeting goals, deadlines, timelines, I have learned a way of flowing.
Instead of getting mad at people not meeting my expectations, I’m looser with what I expect of others.
Instead of getting mad at things not turning out how I’d like, I accept that things are unpredictable, and accept what happens.
Most of the time, t...

Synchronicity
I’ve written many times about how synchronicities tend to increase when I’m in the flow state. I often think of synchronicities as acknowledgements from the universe when I’m successfully following my path with a heart.
Let me share some specific examples of what these synchronicities look like.
Lately I’ve been enjoying speaking about social skills, relationships, and sexuality. I love the intrinsic rewards of this work and keep leaning into it more and more.
I recently returned from a weeklong trip to New York City, which including hosting a meet-up in Central Park and speaking at the Direct Datin...

The Healthful Vegan Diet
‘Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.’ ~Hippocrates
By Leo Babauta
Eat plants. Those two words are the best things I’ve learned about diet, and if you stick to that, you’re likely be pretty healthy.
That said, eating a vegan diet (no animal products) doesn’t necessarily equate to a healthy diet, despite what many believe.
Yes, vegans on average are healthier and leaner than the average person. But that’s an average — there are unhealthy vegans.
How is that possible? You can eat lots of sweets, fried foods, processed foods, foods with white flour (br...
