"An engaging and accessible approach to living a happier, less stressful life."--Kirkus Reviews

For fans of celebrated self-help books The Power of Now and Atomic Habits, an MD's soulful exploration of healing, tradition, and spirituality through the grounding and nourishing habit of baking challah.

What if an ancient ritual could transform the way you live today?

In her beloved first book, Braided, Dr. Beth Ricanati shared how making sacred bread, challah, every Friday for over a decade transformed her life. Now, in The Braided Prescription, she shares insights from her subsequent challah workshops with groups all over America and even abroad, distilling what she's learned into seven attainable and powerful practices for managing stress in our daily lives.

Blending personal stories, scientific research, and timeless wisdom, Ricanati demonstrates how these seven practices can restore presence in a distracted world, strengthen bonds with family and community, and teach resilience through imperfection. With warmth and wisdom, she shows how the weekly ritual of making challah bread can help us mend what feels frayed, anchor what feels uncertain, and create space for what truly matters.

For readers from every walk of life--including those who have never made dough or even seen yeast--The Braided Prescription is a powerful reminder that small acts, repeated with care, can lead to profound transformation.
