In the modern world, we are constantly bombarded with stimuli. We have a vast array of choices in front of us all the time: what to eat, what to watch, what to read, what to listen to, and we can access all of this with the tap of a button on our smartphones. This book proceeds from the premise that this seemingly incredible freedom and range of possibilities is actually really dangerous and harmful to us. Modern life is leaving us more anxious, alone, and depressed, and our physical health suffers along with our mental health. We are more illness-prone than previous generations, and engage more freely in habits that we know are bad for us.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
