Summary

The New York Times bestselling author 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 routinely use and the unhealthy things we do that our culture and corporations have made us believe are safe 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 daily life . . . and they are 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 must also be good,” and gives us alternative choices to take control of our lives and our health. Fatal Conveniences offers a fresh perspective and achievable, small tweaks that will lead to big, life-enhancing changes.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

very well written informative book

the book gives you many informations about various daily things that might not be healthy for us, or things that are proven harmfull to us.
I like that the author doesn't say "don't you dare to ever use plastic containers or make up again!" rather he says "these are the dangers of said things - here are some alternatives, or maybe just use the things as little as possible"
it was a really good book, and I have given 5 stars. in some ways I wanted to give it only 2 - not because of the story, performance or the content, but because I sometimes was left with a feeling of hopelessness of the dystopia he describes. for example; I should only buy organic cotton shirts from now on due to less chemicals than none-organic cotton farming - problem solved. Nope that isn't safe either because of the chemicals of the color and print added to the organic cotton shirt after production. But I have to wear something and whatever I chose - it will contain some kind of poison....
