You Plough The Hungry Brain: Mass Update
In Jan of this year, I handed inward a consummate manuscript draft of my starting fourth dimension book, The Hungry Brain, to my editor at Flatiron Books. This mass represents to a greater extent than than 2 full-time years of my life, in addition to I can't hold back for it to hitting shelves. It's markedly dissimilar from whatever other mass inward its category, in addition to believe it has the potential to substantially alter the populace conversation on eating deportment in addition to obesity.
In the procedure of writing The Hungry Brain, I read countless papers in addition to interviewed 36 leading researchers inward the fields of neuroscience, obesity research, in addition to anthropology. I had my encephalon scanned inward an fMRI machine spell looking at junk food. I commissioned in addition to compiled 47 illustrations, schematics, in addition to graphs, to a greater extent than oftentimes than non past times a skilled medical illustrator named Shizuka Aoki. Yet the mass volition survive accessible to anyone who loves science.
This mass is non close me or my footing views. It's non a conspiracy even close how everything we've been told is truly wrong, nor is it a critique of existing ideas close eating deportment in addition to obesity-- although I practise right some misconceptions along the way. It's close the incredible in addition to apace evolving footing of enquiry that has in addition to thus much to learn us close ourselves, only rarely trickles downward into the populace sphere inward a useful form.
In interviews this year, I said I thought the mass would survive out roughly September 2016. That was based on a stone oil gauge my agent gave me final year. Sadly, it won't survive out until starting fourth dimension quarter 2017-- the gears plow tardily inward the publishing industry. But the proficient word is that Flatiron Books is using this fourth dimension to practise a cracking chore of copyediting, interior design, encompass design, in addition to marketing, to brand sure this mass is equally proficient equally it tin forcefulness out be, in addition to gets into equally many hands equally possible. I'll render a amend appointment gauge when I stimulate got one.
In the meantime, taste this brusk description of the book:
From an obesity in addition to neuroscience researcher amongst a knack for storytelling, The Hungry Brain uses cutting-edge scientific discipline to answer the questions: why practise nosotros overeat, in addition to what tin forcefulness out nosotros practise close it?
No ane wants to overeat. And for sure no ane wants to overeat for years, larn overweight, in addition to terminate upward amongst a high opportunity of diabetes or middle disease--yet 2 thirds of Americans practise exactly that. Even though nosotros know better, nosotros oftentimes consume likewise much. Why does our deportment betray our ain intentions to survive lean in addition to healthy? The problem, argues obesity in addition to neuroscience researcher Stephan J. Guyenet, is non necessarily a lack of willpower or an wrong agreement of what to eat. Rather, our appetites in addition to nutrient choices are led astray past times ancient, instinctive encephalon circuits that play past times the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t tending close how yous hold back inward a bathing arrange adjacent summer.
To brand the case, The Hungry Brain takes readers on an eye-opening journeying through cutting-edge neuroscience that has never earlier been available to a full general audience. The Hungry Brain delivers profound insights into why the encephalon undermines our weight goals in addition to transforms these insights into practical guidelines for eating good in addition to staying slim. Along the way, it explores how the human encephalon works, revealing how this mysterious organ makes us who nosotros are.
