Drs. Alan Goldhamer and Doug Lisle have issued a wake-up call to even the most health-conscious individuals. In this audio they boldly challenge conventional wisdom about sickness and unhappiness in today's contemporary culture. Inspired by stunning original research, comprehensive clinical studies, and their successes with thousands of patients, the authors construct a new paradigm for the psychology of health, offering fresh hope for anyone stuck in a self-destructive rut.\nUnique insights into the factors that make us susceptible to dietary and lifestyle excesses reveal how people are victims of a primal dilemma that goes back to our prehistoric past called “the pleasure trap.” This motivational system embedded in our genes consists of a three-part mechanism to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy. In today’s age of instant gratification, overcoming these tendencies is not easy. Integrating principals of evolutionary biology with proactive strategies for wellness, detailed advice is provided on how to recognize the patterns of the pleasure trap in your own life and distinguish between health-supporting and health-destructive behaviors. This information could be life-saving.
