Supernormal stimuli

Book • 2010
In 'Supernormal Stimuli', Deirdre Barrett explores how human instincts, developed for life on the savannahs, are now hijacked by modern stimuli like candy, pornography, and technology, leading to problems such as obesity and addiction.

She argues that recognizing these stimuli allows us to exercise self-control and mitigate their negative impacts.
