Brain Wash

Outline

Brain Wash (2020) argues that modern life, with its constant technology, processed food, lack of sleep, and stress, is harming our brains and our ability to make good decisions. David Perlmutter, Austin Perlmutter and Kristin Loberg explain how these influences affect mood, empathy, and self-control, and offer a ten-day programme to reset habits around food, sleep, nature, technology, and relationships.

• The book offers a ten-day programme to reset habits around food, sleep, nature, technology and relationships.
• Protecting your brain means looking at the whole of daily life, from what you eat to how you connect with other people.
