Amherst Reads Reviews

“Who knew that avocado toast was a window to the soul? With substance, style, and a keen eye for data, Eve Turow-Paul uses food to illuminate the psychology of an entire generation. Hungry is a deeply insightful book that also happens to be more delicious than dessert.” - Daniel Gilbert, Professor of Psychology at Harvard and New York Times bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness.

“Turow-Paul combines great story-telling with a hard look at many trends and beliefs that are not based on facts. She artfully explains why they pull us in anyway, the psychological needs they fill, and how we can bring order and sanity to one of the most fraught topics today: food.”- Dr. Daniel J. Levitin, neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of Successful Aging and The Organized Mind.

“A tip. Check out this excellent new book for our times, Hungry, by Eve Turow-Paul. It is an assessment of human well-being and what we need to feel well, especially when lonely and isolated....Hungry contains all the ingredients here for the next phase of a positive food movement that can improve planetary health, mental health, and social health.”- Michiel Bakker, Director of Global Workplace Services at Google
