The New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain exposes the dangers of consumption culture to our mental and cognitive health and offers diet and lifestyle interventions to heal the brain.Dr Perlmutter is back, this time, with his son, the younger Dr Perlmutter. Much has been made of the increasing epidemics of depression, anxiety and addiction, as well as the damage caused by our obsession with modern-day consumerism, including junk food, social media and digital devices that are permanently in our hands. Brain Wash provides an antidote to that onslaught, which is wreaking havoc on our mental and cognitive health. Combining cutting-edge science and research with practical how-to advice, Brain Wash is a guide to living modern life well.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain and his physician son explore how modern culture threatens to rewire our brains and damage our health, offering a practical plan for healing. 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 with the touch of a button or the swipe of a finger. 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 behaviours 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 boot camp program, including a meal plan and 40 delicious recipes, Brain Wash is the key to cultivating a more purposeful and fulfilling life.'By showing us how to consciously rewire our brains for connection, compassion, and better decisions, Brain Wash provides a framework for reclaiming joy and health in the modern world.' - Deepak Chopra, author of Metahuman'Brain Wash reveals how our day-to-day decisions are deeply influenced and actively manipulated by the modern world. But more importantly, it is a powerful manual that allows each of us to reclaim control of our choices and make better decisions that will pave the way for health and happiness. While we generally know what's best for ourselves, acting on this knowledge is a constant struggle. Brain Wash allows us to turn this knowledge into action. I highly recommend this innovative book.'- Daniel G. Amen, MD, founder, Amen Clinics and author of The End of Mental Illness
