The number one New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain and his physician son explore how modern culture threatens to rewire the brains and damage health, offering a practical plan for healing. Contemporary life provides infinite opportunities, along with endless temptations. One can eat whatever they want, whenever they want. They can immerse themselves in the vast, enticing world of digital media. They can buy goods and services with the touch of a button or the swipe of a finger. But living in this 24/7 hyper-reality poses serious risks to ones physical and mental states, the connections to others and even to the world at large. The audiobook builds from a simple premise: The brains are being gravely manipulated, resulting in behaviors that leave people more lonely, anxious, depressed, distrustful, illness-prone, and overweight than ever before.
