Brain Wash: Detox Your Mind for Clearer Thinking, Deeper Relationships, and Lasting Happiness

It is difficult to believe Grain Brain could be improved upon BUT this book adds to the knowledge base Grain Brain begins. I have read 70 pages of Brain Wash on the first sitting and could not put it down. It is clear functional medicine at it's best in addition to being life changing. At 63 years old I am able to work as a Pharmacist with a clear mind, healthy body and restful sleep.

It’s pretty darn impossible to say anything bad about Dr Perlmutter. He’s got so much good advice to offer and clearly is on top of the preventive medicine game.What left me a bit underwhelmed in this book was I that found it to be pretty much a rehash of all that’s been published and YouTubed and written about the long term necessity of eating whole foods, tossing out the junk and additives, systemic inflammation, (how many times have you been told tumeric is good for you by now, do you need to hear that again?) and living in a psychology healthy way: connected to nature, other people, and your “best self”.Doc P. here runs the message through the brain health wash, which is fine, but there’s nothing very novel coming across if you’ve delved into this whole shebang before through *his* prior books and the other luminaries in this field.If you’ve not read or followed any of Doc P.’s prior work or others like him than sure, this book will definitely be very valuable. Leave it at that.

Incredible book! This book should become a textbook in middle and high schools. This book should be read by parents and teachers! It should be part of the technology curriculum in our schools and colleges.Life changing information!Thank you doctors!🙏🏻

In a book less than 300 pages, 100 pages are recipes, notes, and index. Total filler. The rest is heavily noted and quoted research, which is summed up on page 190 with 8 basic bullet points, things like 1) Exercise 2) Get plenty of sleep 3) eat a healthy diet low on refined carbs. Really? And presented as if it's ground-breaking...

This book should be a required read for anyone with a phone, computer, TV! It should be a required read in health class and on the desk at work. I knew that technology has created a disconnect in our society, increased depression and decreased empathy, I just didn’t know the alarming science behind it. I have seen the change in my patients in my practice, my children, and friends. If you are a parent or if you love anyone, give them this book. It’s alarming to think that our kids brains are still developing are in the biggest experiment of the century. I bought this book to improve my happiness and was wondering why I have felt more anxious, decreased happiness and decreased satisfaction in life the past 5 years. It’s time to wake up World, we are heading for the biggest social catastrophe and we are asleep at the wheel. This book will change your life and hopefully help you make important changes in the lives of the people you know and love. I would even give it to the people you don’t like, it will help them find their happiness and what they are missing in their lives.

As we all continue to dive into podcasts, a Netflix series, using apps to entertain ourselves, using apps to organize ourselves - we think we're doing well and being productive. That may be but you're being Brain Wash-ed at the same time.Dr. Perlmutter reminds me that I need to step away from these things and reconnect to nature, my kids, myself, my friends and activities that do not involve a damn screen. It's so so easy to fall back into this trap.I was doing amazingly well for YEARS without Netflix or games on my phone. For some reason, I find myself watching more Netflix and looking for 'strategy' games thinking I'm being good as long as I am being strategic.Nonsense.I'm going through his recommendations now to purge and change my ways. I'll be sure to pass this on to my three boys and we'll do it together.Overall, we have a lot of great things going on in our home. We are active. We do not have phones at the table when we eat and we don't use WiFi. However, there are many things that need improving and thanks to Brain Wash, I have a tool to help me - and my family - break the chains.Thank you, David and Austin!If you find yourself behind any type of screen, you need this book. Yes, I know you are aware that it's bad to be behind a screen and you think you can change it without any tools. I lied to myself, too. Get Brain Wash. You need help - we all do.

I have been a fan of his since 2013. I have read all his books. BrainWash is just as wonderful as the others. His message really resonates with this modern day era. I have three small children and if there is one thing I got out of this book, it's to take them outside more!! Thank you David and Austin! I look forward to continuing my low carb, brain fueled journey!

I nearly flunked my Neurology course during graduate college but now I am completely fascinated with learning details on the brain anatomy and functioning especially how to keep or strengthen the connections between the left and right hemisphere or keep my frontal cerebral lobe stronger than the "A word" part of the brain - which if left unchecked -can turn you into a narcissist!! This book explained what has been happening with our society lately and even explained why my brain is not functioning at its optimal level after a year of COVID lockdowns ( being more isolated and disconnected. Dr Perlmuter both David and Austin conveyed what things I could do to address those issues, limiting social media (such as Twitter! ), limiting negative daily doses of news (such as main stream media). Do less texting and more picking up the phone and writing old fashioned letters --- and MEDITATION. Really enjoyed learning the astonishing latest research on what changes happen in the brain due to even 15 minutes of meditation.

Basic and obvious

See my review in Grain Drain - don’t waste your money

Delivered thanksVery useful information and support.

I didn't like the print or the layout in this book...The paper didn't seem to be of good quality.. I would have expected a better product from this author.... I bought 2 copies, gave one away to my lady friend.. She liked it... Since I didn't like mine., I returned it..

So many food recipes, which also I didn't like (too complicated, and designed too much for the US). But beyond that, the overall concept is good and very interesting
