5 books high performers should read this month

The book: Team Human

The gist: Digital theorist Douglas Rushkoff has been named one of the world’s ten most influential intellectuals by MIT. In his new book, he offers a sweeping treatise on what he considers the ills of the current age, including digital networks that have gone from “promoting social bonds to destroying them.” Presented in 100 thought-provoking passages, Team Human provides a rallying call for how to reconnect and live life as a “team sport” for greater happiness, productivity, and peace.

The gist: On nothing more than a lark, novelist Dani Shapiro sent away for a DNA analysis—a move that would upend her life in extraordinary ways, shattering her sense of belonging and revealing a deeply buried secret. Inheritance is simultaneously a fact-finding mission, family memoir, and exploration of identity.

The book: Sicker, Fatter, Poorer

The gist: In his first book, Leonardo Trasande, a pediatrician, professor, and children’s environmental health researcher at NYU Langone, presents a startling snapshot of kids in a New York City playground in 1962 compared with a similar imagined scene in 2019. The kids of today are bigger and heavier, and would suffer more from autism, learning disabilities, and a host of other health problems. The cause, posits Trasande, are the hormone-disrupting chemicals that lurk in our homes, food supply, and environment. In this exhaustively-researched book, Trasande explores the chemicals and outlines the safe, simple steps everyone can do to limit their exposure and harm.
