Book Description
"Explores how industry has manipulated our most deep-seated survival instincts."—David Perlmutter, MD, Author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain and Brain Maker The New York Times–bestselling author of Fat Chance reveals the corporate scheme to sell pleasure, driving the international epidemic of addiction, depression, and chronic disease. While researching the toxic and addictive properties of sugar for his New York Times bestseller Fat Chance, Robert Lustig made an alarming discovery—our pursuit of happiness is being subverted by a culture of addiction and depression from which we may never recover. Dopamine is the “reward” neurotransmitter that tells our brains we want more; yet every substance or behavior that releases dopamine in the extreme leads to addiction. Serotonin is the “contentment” neurotransmitter that tells our brains we don’t need any more; yet its deficiency leads to depression. Ideally, both are in optimal supply. Yet dopamine evolved to overwhelm serotonin—because our ancestors were more likely to survive if they were constantly motivated—with the result that constant desire can chemically destroy our ability to feel happiness, while sending us down the slippery slope to addiction. In the last forty years, government legislation and subsidies have promoted ever-available temptation (sugar, drugs, social media, porn) combined with constant stress (work, home, money, Internet), with the end result of an unprecedented epidemic of addiction, anxiety, depression, and chronic disease. And with the advent of neuromarketing, corporate America has successfully imprisoned us in an endless loop of desire and consumption from which there is no obvious escape. With his customary wit and incisiveness, Lustig not only reveals the science that drives these states of mind, he points his finger directly at the corporations that helped create this mess, and the government actors who facilitated it, and he offers solutions we can all use in the pursuit of happiness, even in the face of overwhelming opposition. Always fearless and provocative, Lustig marshals a call to action, with seminal implications for our health, our well-being, and our culture.

Book Description
“Technology is a great servant but a terrible master. This is the most important book ever written about one of the most significant aspects of our lives—the consequences of our addiction to online technology and how we can liberate ourselves and our children from it.” —Dean Ornish, M.D. Founder & President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, Clinical Professor of Medicine, UCSF, Author, The Spectrum Technology: your master, or your friend? Do you feel ruled by your smartphone and enslaved by your e-mail or social-network activities? Digital technology is making us miserable, say bestselling authors and former tech executives Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever. We've become a tribe of tech addicts—and it's not entirely our fault. Taking advantage of vulnerabilities in human brain function, tech companies entice us to overdose on technology interaction. This damages our lives, work, families, and friendships. Swipe-driven dating apps train us to evaluate people like products, diminishing our relationships. At work, we e-mail on average 77 times a day, ruining our concentration. At home, light from our screens is contributing to epidemic sleep deprivation. But we can reclaim our lives without dismissing technology. The authors explain how to avoid getting hooked on tech and how to define and control the roles that tech is playing and could play in our lives. And they provide a guide to technological and personal tools for regaining control. This readable book turns personal observation into a handy action guide to adapting to our new reality of omnipresent technology.

Book Description
What exactly is "mind hacking?" "Mind hacking" is about getting your mind to do things your mind doesn't know it can do or isn't doing, things that you want it to do. The mind is extremely powerful, but it has no direction, and that's where you come into play. Youneed to give your mind its direction, and when it doesn't give you what you want, that is when you might "hack" it to work around its natural design and limitations. That is what hacking your mind is about - getting that infinitely powerful mind of yours to do something you want it to do, even when it isn't complying or doesn't understand. Very few people get full access and control of their mind and discover what it's truly capable of. Think about what has been achieved when the mind has been used at full capacity. It's been used to invent light bulbs, printing presses, computers, phones, and even harness the power of the sun. Think about that. Someone's mind once thought, "I can feel the heat from the sun so there has to be energy there. I think I can harness that energy to produce electricity that humans can use." How far fetched did that sound the first time someone heard it? But now we have solar power. Imagine if you could harness that kind of mind power and use it for yourself? Imagine if you could unlock every corner of your brain and use it to it's full potential? What could yours accomplish? That's what we are doing here in this book. We are attempting to advance the potential of the human mind, and more specifically, yours. Hold on tight, this is going to be a crazy ride What are you waiting for? Scroll up and click the buy now button to learn to unlock the full potential of your mind and achieve anything you want
