Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs Dr. Judson Brewer's most talked-about titles on habit change: The Hunger Habit and Unwinding Anxiety. Both books apply Brewer's clinical research as a psychiatrist and neuroscientist to two of the most common modern struggles—compulsive eating and chronic worry. Rather than pushing willpower or restriction, Brewer teaches readers to use curiosity and mindful awareness to interrupt the brain's craving loops. Together, these titles form a practical, science-grounded toolkit for anyone looking to build a calmer, more balanced relationship with food and with their own mind, one small habit shift at a time.

About the Books
The Hunger Habit and Unwinding Anxiety both come from Dr. Judson Brewer, an addiction psychiatrist and neuroscientist at Brown University whose work centers on mindfulness-based habit change. In The Hunger Habit, Brewer draws on more than two decades of clinical research to help readers understand why diets and willpower alone rarely stick. Instead of counting calories or fighting cravings, he guides readers to observe hunger and eating triggers with curiosity, distinguishing physical hunger from emotional hunger and gradually rewiring the brain's reward-based habit loops through a step-by-step program. Unwinding Anxiety applies the same brain-science approach to worry, stress, and the habits anxiety fuels, from doomscrolling to stress eating to procrastination. Brewer explains how anxious thought loops form and why simply trying to "stop worrying" backfires, then offers small, repeatable mental hacks that map out triggers, behaviors, and rewards so readers can consciously interrupt them. Both books share Brewer's signature voice: warm, clear, and rooted in neuroscience rather than quick-fix gimmicks. Read together, they show how the same brain circuitry drives both eating habits and anxious patterns, and how the same mindfulness-based tools can address both. This pairing suits readers of psychology and self-help who want an evidence-based, compassionate approach to lasting behavior change, whether they are picking up their first Brewer title or returning after his widely viewed TED Talk on habit change.
