Zoe Cormier’s first book, Sex, Drugs & Rock n’ Roll: The Science of Hedonism and the Hedonism of Science – hand-picked by The Guardian as a “must-read” – was published by Profile Books in the UK in August 2014, in Canada and America in 2015 by Da Capo, and in Spain by RBA Libros and Sweden by Fri Tanke in 2016. (Fun fact, Fri Tanke was founded by Bjorn from Abba.)
Featured by publications ranging from Wired to The Daily Mail, The Independent, BBC Focus and The Big Issue, it celebrates and explores why being bad feels so good – and why these “base” pursuits are key to what makes us human.
