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.

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
