Why do we feel anxious? Why does time seem to speed up as we age? Can kindness improve your health? And could training your sense of smell actually protect your brain?

In Better You, Backed by Science, best-selling author and scientist David R. Hamilton, PhD, explores the fascinating research behind how our minds, bodies, emotions, and relationships really work—and how small daily changes can profoundly improve wellbeing.

Blending neuroscience, psychology, behavioural science and practical health research, this accessible guide tackles the issues we all struggle with: how to calm a busy mind, build self-esteem, manage stress, feel happier, strengthen relationships, improve brain health, and find greater meaning in life.

Structured in short, engaging chapters, each one combining:

• The key idea
• The science behind it
• Simple “Try This” strategies readers can immediately apply.

From the vagus nerve and neuroplasticity to gratitude, awe, exercise, smell training, and the gut–brain axis, David translates cutting-edge science into practical tools for everyday life.
Warm, encouraging and deeply empowering, Better You, Backed by Science is a guide to becoming healthier, calmer, more connected, and more fully yourself.
