Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution by Cat Bohannon is a popular science book that reexamines human evolution by placing the female body at the center of the story rather than treating it as secondary. The book traces key traits—such as lactation, pregnancy, brain development, language, and menopause—back through millions of years of mammalian and human evolution, showing how female biology has fundamentally shaped our species. By following a series of “Eves” (representing different evolutionary stages), Bohannon argues that many scientific narratives have historically overlooked or misunderstood women’s bodies, leading to gaps in knowledge in fields like medicine and anthropology. Overall, the book challenges male-centric assumptions about evolution and demonstrates that understanding the female body is essential to understanding human history, health, and behavior today.

The Ten Worlds: The New Psychology of Happiness argues that most people misunderstand what actually creates lasting happiness. In the book, authors Alex Lickerman and Ash ElDifrawi combine modern psychology with ideas drawn from Buddhist philosophy to explain that our happiness depends primarily on the beliefs we hold about life. They propose that people move through ten psychological “worlds,” or life-conditions, ranging from negative states like Hell, Hunger, Animality, and Anger to more positive ones such as Learning, Realization, and Compassion. Each of the first nine worlds is based on a mistaken belief—or “core delusion”—about what will make us happy, such as thinking happiness comes from getting what we want or avoiding pain. Because these beliefs rely on external conditions, the happiness they produce is fragile and temporary. The authors argue that true, enduring happiness comes from reaching the tenth world—Enlightenment—a psychological state achieved by recognizing a deeper truth about the nature of life and freeing ourselves from those delusions.

The Good Book Club held a Q&A with acclaimed author and historian John G. Turner to discuss his book "Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet." The discussion was so awesome we had to share it with a wider community! Our book club members asked a wide range of in depth questions as John weighs in on the life, teachings, and controversies surrounding the founder of the Mormonism. John offers a balanced, deeply researched portrait that situates Joseph Smith within the broader currents of American religious history. You won’t want to miss this!
