Publisher's summary

Dr. David Perlmutter, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Grain Brain, and Dr. Austin Perlmutter, his 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 for rapid delivery with our fingertips or voice commands. 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 behaviors 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 bootcamp program, including a meal plan and 40 delicious original recipes, Brain Wash is the key to cultivating a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Inflammation, enhanced by so many influences of our modern world, dramatically reduces our ability to make good decisions and feel content. Brain Wash not only explores how this is happening, on a global scale, but also shows what we can do right now to take back control. From spending time in nature to choosing to consume one plant-based meal a day, Brain Wash provides the tools the reclaim and rebuild your brain's ability to make better choices and allow health and happiness to flourish." (Mark Hyman, MD, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Food and director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine)

"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)

"Brain Wash shows us how our ability to make the best decisions is literally being hijacked every day. But more importantly, Drs. David and Austin Perlmutter empower the reader with the tools to regain control over our decision-making and implement strategies to allow health, empathy and happiness to manifest. Brain Wash brings a healthy dose of compassion to the world." (Dr. Josh Axe, best-selling author of Keto Diet)

Liked the content, but Narrator puts me to sleep

The content is interesting and well thought out and presented. However, I'm not sure anyone should listen to the audible version while driving. Yipes! So hard to pay attention/ stay awake. Maybe I'll start using it to fall asleep at night.

Amazing

this has been an excellent listening. I am ordering the hard copy so I can reference back. I am so ready to wash my brain.

The information was well written and easy to understand. I already suffer with brain fog and minor memory issues and been tested with results are normal. So something is going on that is not detected as of yet but I feel the desire to take action before it gets worse. I am a nurse and responsible for so many people in the long term care industry, so taking care of myself is essential. I thank the writers the readers and production of this book.
