The New York Times bestselling writer of SuperLife and cohost with Zac Efron of the hit Netflix series Down to Earth, Darin Olien offers invaluable advice for addressing the health of our bodies and the health of the planet by identifying common products and behaviors that are harmful and providing alternatives that are non-toxic and life-enhancing.
Fatal conveniences are the toxic products we mechanically use and the unhealthy things we do that our culture and corporations have made us consider are secure and necessary for living well and efficiently. These things—from deodorant, cosmetics, dental floss, and sunscreen to laundry detergent, air fresheners, carpets, and crayons to candles, tea bags, cell phones, and chewing gum—are ubiquitous in day-to-day life . . . and they’re wreaking havoc on our health and our planet. The environmental toxins found in these products create a cascade of problems, including chemical sensitivities, auto-immune issues, obesity, chronic health diseases, and more.
Darin Olien has spent most of his adult life obsessively researching these “conveniences” and in this book, he raises our awareness of their dangers, demolishes the myth that “if it’s easy, it will have to also be good,” and gives us alternative choices to take keep watch over of our lives and our health. Fatal Conveniences offers a fresh standpoint and achievable, small tweaks so they can lead to big, life-enhancing changes.
