The hacking of the American mind

Book • 2017
In 'The Hacking of the American Mind,' Dr. Robert Lustig exposes the corporate scheme to sell pleasure, which has led to an international epidemic of addiction, depression, and chronic disease.

He explains the science behind the distinction between pleasure and happiness, highlighting the roles of dopamine and serotonin in brain chemistry.

Lustig argues that industries, including food manufacturers and tech companies, exploit these biochemical pathways to keep consumers addicted.

He also provides strategies to reclaim health and happiness, emphasizing the importance of human connections, sleep, and other simple yet effective practices.
