Book excerpt: "Explores how industry has manipulated our most deep-seated survival instincts."—David Perlmutter, MD, Author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain and Brain Maker The New York Times–bestselling author of Fat Chance reveals the corporate scheme to sell pleasure, driving the international epidemic of addiction, depression, and chronic disease. While researching the toxic and addictive properties of sugar for his New York Times bestseller Fat Chance, Robert Lustig made an alarming discovery—our pursuit of happiness is being subverted by a culture of addiction and depression from which we may never recover. Dopamine is the “reward” neurotransmitter that tells our brains we want more; yet every substance or behavior that releases dopamine in the extreme leads to addiction. Serotonin is the “contentment” neurotransmitter that tells our brains we don’t need any more; yet its deficiency leads to depression. Ideally, both are in optimal supply. Yet dopamine evolved to overwhelm serotonin—because our ancestors were more likely to survive if they were constantly motivated—with the result that constant desire can chemically destroy our ability to feel happiness, while sending us down the slippery slope to addiction. In the last forty years, government legislation and subsidies have promoted ever-available temptation (sugar, drugs, social media, porn) combined with constant stress (work, home, money, Internet), with the end result of an unprecedented epidemic of addiction, anxiety, depression, and chronic disease. And with the advent of neuromarketing, corporate America has successfully imprisoned us in an endless loop of desire and consumption from which there is no obvious escape. With his customary wit and incisiveness, Lustig not only reveals the science that drives these states of mind, he points his finger directly at the corporations that helped create this mess, and the government actors who facilitated it, and he offers solutions we can all use in the pursuit of happiness, even in the face of overwhelming opposition. Always fearless and provocative, Lustig marshals a call to action, with seminal implications for our health, our well-being, and our culture.

Download or read book Hacking the Matrix written by Vadim Zeland and published by . This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not to invalidate your beliefs and the societal structure you comfortably reside in, but to support your return to the radical self-responsibility and vast open mindedness of a spiritually mature being. With all the presuppositions, "knowledge" and "facts" you have gathered about life, you will hardly be able to dive into the unknown and learn something new or experience the vivid freshness of Infinity. As is typical for the human condition, some of your ways of seeing things have become stale, to say the least. Even if your convictions and conclusions were useful at one time, doesn't it get incredibly dull to think the same things over and over and over, and to perceive things from the same vantage point again and again and again? But as nothing can be added or taken away from Infinity, the belief- systems we "shatter" will not be lost. You can pick them up and reassemble them later if you need some concepts to hold on to or if you get scared of the joyous enormity of it all. Nobody is forcing you to have too much fun. Expanding awareness in the original sense means: Seeing, Feeling, Perceiving, Noticing, Experiencing, Doing something you have not seen, felt, perceived, noticed, experienced, done before. It's as simple as that. If this is what is happening to you, then you are using this book the way it was meant to be used.On a quantum level, when you what it (whatever that is), it is created instantly, you don't receiver instantly only because you are surrounded by a layer of resistance, and so, when your world comes to deliver and nocks on your door, chances are you are not there.
