The News: A User's Manual is an insightful analysis of the impact of the incessant news machine on us and our culture.
The news is everywhere. We can't stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds? We are never taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face daily, which has a huge influence on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. Alain de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories--including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview, and a political scandal--and submits them to intense analysis. Why are disaster stories often so uplifting? Why do we enjoy watching politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far-off lands often so boring? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? De Botton has written the ultimate guide for our frenzied era, designed to bring calm, understanding, and a measure of sanity to a news-obsessed age.

Good for receding gums
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I use this Boka toothpaste daily and it is super sensitive on my receding gums. It has a subtle flavor, and isn't too strong. Highly recommend if you have sensitive teeth.

Makes my sensitive teeth have a magical shield
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been using the Boku sensitive toothpaste twice a day for almost 2 months now and it's definitely improved my tooth sensitivity since I first started. I used to have to be extra careful about what I ate or drank, specially while out in the cold because the pain I felt was unbearable. Now it's like a magical coating is protecting them because it's barely noticable anymore. I also really like that it doesn't taste bad, and it leaves my teeth looking a few shades lighter and my breath stays pretty fresh for a decent amount of time after using. The only thing I would change is the consistency because it's a lil thin and kinda flings everywhere on my spin brush but that isn't enough to make me dislike it.

Works amazing! Worth the price!
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this toothpaste, I read an article where you can 100% use it with your Sensodyne or Colgate sensitivity toothpaste to get the sensitivity benefit from that as well as the remineralizing from this toothpaste. I didn’t notice a texture difference at all, the taste was good, I will definitely be buying this again. I used it with David’s coconut oil pulling and my teeth feel amazing, no sensitivity to cold or hot anymore! Buy it yesterday you won’t be disappointed

Not super strong
Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the stuff I reach for. It’s mild enough where I don’t feel like people around me can smell inside my mouth. But still powerful enough where my mouth feels fresh. Good for my sensitive teeth too. Very helpful
