You Think I Do This for My Health?

This Book Could Save Your Life!

It could also give you a paper cut, so be careful!

You Think I Do This for My Health? is a funny and affectionate celebration of the mother who can find danger anywhere. Inspired by Evan Lowenstein’s own mother, the book follows the wonderfully exhausting logic of a woman determined to keep her family safe from every conceivable threat, no matter how unlikely.

What begins as a collection of hilariously over-the-top warnings gradually reveals something more tender: behind every caution, every imagined catastrophe, and every “I told you so” is a mother who worries because she loves.

You Think I Do This for My Health? is for anyone who has ever had a mother that cared too much.
