Fight back against a modern culture that is rewiring our brains and damaging our health with this practical, doctor-approved plan for healing that includes a ten-day boot camp and forty delicious recipes.
Contemporary life provides us with infinite opportunities, along with endless temptations. We can eat whatever we want, whenever we want. We can immerse ourselves in the vast, enticing world of digital media. We can buy goods and services for rapid delivery with our fingertips or voice commands. But living in this 24/7 hyper-reality poses serious risks to our physical and mental states, our connections to others, and even to the world at large.
Brain Wash builds from a simple premise: Our brains are being gravely manipulated, resulting in behaviors that leave us more lonely, anxious, depressed, distrustful, illness-prone, and overweight than ever before.
Based on the latest science, the book identifies the mental hijacking that undermines each and every one of us, and presents the tools necessary to think more clearly, make better decisions, strengthen bonds with others, and develop healthier habits. Featuring a 10-day bootcamp program, including a meal plan and 40 delicious original recipes, Brain Wash is the key to cultivating a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

Technology is a tool that has allowed countless advances in medicine, psychology, industry, and more, but it's also allowing us to automate ourselves away from human connection and personal intimacy--creating more emotionally detached people than ever before in history. -Lisa Strohman, JD, PhD, Founder of Digital Citizen Academy
Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master. -Christian Lous Lange, Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

(Chapter 10) Silence is a great healer. Let yourself block out the noise of the world from time to time and listen to your inner voice--it will tell you what you need. -Anonymous
