Best healthy meal delivery service you use while on the road? Thinking of opting for having my meals for the week delivered on Monday to hotel, rather than restaurants or grocery shopping.

I ate out / take out almost every day. My favorite restaurants increased the price by 20 - 30%, which made me mad and I decided to cook. Now I eat healthy home made food, I feel more energetic and also stupid for ordering food from restaurants in the past. Bonus points for the extra money I save.

What's with the saturation of self help/ productivity books on social media (reddit, Instagram etc.) ? Not saying I don't mind reading them, but I see this quite a bit.

What’s the deal with the delta 8 gummies? How are they legal!?

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management?
