Synopsis

Humans are the only organisms on this planet that knowingly do what is bad for them, their families, their habitats and their species. Most humans today have no idea why they struggle with giving up bad habits and why they walk on a very fine line between depression and addiction, anxiety and recklessness, fatigue and burnout. Why are we so prone to
blindspots, self-delusions and fooling ourselves?

Today, human brains have invented expensive tools to diagnose diseases, and costly crutches to patch us up. Yet few humans realize it is these very same imaginative brains that are causing trouble because they have hijacked our body’s immune system and metabolism. As clearly explained in the book, this unique hard-to-balance metabolism (energy budgeting) is the root of most psychological and physical disorders in humans. Today, humans suffer mostly from abuse and deception by their own brains, and fight their most formidable battles inside their brains. Yet most of us know more about our phones, apps, games, pets, homes, cars and jobs than about our own brain and body, and how they communicate, or get burned out, together.
