Download or read book The Hacking of the American Mind written by Robert H. Lustig and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

The interview was first published in Pioneers of Recovery, a collection of stories from 11 remarkable individuals who discuss the therapies that made it possible for them to reverse their symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Download or read book In Defense of Troublemakers written by Charlan Jeanne Nemeth and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eminent psychologist explains why dissent should be cherished, not feared We've decided by consensus that consensus is good. In In Defense of Troublemakers, psychologist Charlan Nemeth argues that this principle is completely wrong: left unchallenged, the majority opinion is often biased, unoriginal, or false. It leads planes and markets to crash, causes juries to convict innocent people, and can quite literally make people think blue is green. In the name of comity, we embrace stupidity. We can make better decisions by embracing dissent. Dissent forces us to question the status quo, consider more information, and engage in creative decision-making. From Twelve Angry Men to Edward Snowden, lone objectors who make people question their assumptions bring groups far closer to truth -- regardless of whether they are right or wrong. Essential reading for anyone who works in groups, In Defense of Troublemakers will radically change the way you think, listen, and make decisions.

Download or read book Uprooted Minds written by Nancy Caro Hollander and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second edition of Uprooted Minds, Hollander offers a unique social psychoanalytic exploration of our increasingly destabilized political environment, augmented by her research into the previously untold history of psychoanalytic engagement in the challenging social issues of our times. Often akin to a political thriller, Hollander’s social psychoanalytic analysis of the devastating effects of group trauma is illuminated through testimonials by U.S. and South American psychoanalysts who have survived the vicissitudes of their countries’ authoritarian political regimes and destabilizing economic crises. Hollander encourages reflections about our experience as social/psychological subjects through her elaboration of the reciprocal impact of social power, hegemonic ideology, large group dynamics and unconscious processes. Her epilogue, written a decade after the first edition of Uprooted Minds, extends its themes to the present period, arguing for a decolonial psychoanalysis that addresses coloniality and white supremacy as the latent forces responsible for our deepening political crises and environmental catastrophe. She shows how the progressive psychoanalytic activism she depicts in the book that was on the margins of the profession has in the last decade moved increasingly to the centre of psychoanalytic theory and praxis. This book will prove essential for those at work or interested in the fields of psychoanalysis, politics, economics, globalization and history.

Book excerpt: On the Canvas of My Time is a narration of a life lived with passion, commitment and honesty that often went against the prevalent beliefs and values of the time. The author, at the age of 56, takes the reader on a solo bike ride – from the present on his family farm in rural Karnataka to parts of North India where he spent his childhood. Along the road the reader gets to see glimpses of the author’s life – the transition from the fast-paced lifestyle in New Delhi to building a sustainable, self-reliant life ethic with his partner, Juli, and their children. The book shares his worldview and provides a first-hand account of the ground realities of the yawning urban-rural divide, its impact on human dynamics and the looming environmental disaster that we are fast approaching in our blind pursuit of short-term developmental goals at the cost of real sustainability. The journal is also a narrative of the couple’s love story and their fascinating journey stretching over three and a half decades.

Book excerpt: This book is filled with primary biblical answers to some of todays most prevalent concerns. These include such topics as divorce, abortion, sexual orientation, the prosperity gospel, and judging others. There is a lot of confusion in the Christian realm today about what God has said about these issues, and many doctrines have twisted the scriptures to read what they want them to mean. But its not what people think or what doctrines promote that mattersits what God has said that is important. I wrote this book because this concern has weighed heavily on me for some time, and I want Christians to know and obey what God has said about these and all issues that they face in life. I am grateful for this opportunity to help other Christians find Jesus in Gods world of No Compromise!
