Any book that starts talking about juice cleanses and gimmicky fitness devices belongs squarely in your trashcan. If you want a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to refining your body, check out Man 2.0 Engineering the Alpha. The book simply puts forth a 4-week diet and exercise program that will start the slimming of that double IPA gut. Based on the idea of natural hormone optimization (it’s science), the book claims that within a week it can help improve your brain function, boost you energy, and increase your sex drive . . . no problem there, am I right? High five! The best part is, it’s not as stuffy as 99% of the health books at your local Barnes & Noble.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
