Description
Dr. David A Kessler's latest work explores one underlying mechanism common to human suffering: capture. This phenomenon occurs when our attention is hijacked and our brains are commandeered by forces outside our control.
The author, who has studied this question in the context of tobacco, food, and drugs, examines how capture relates to mental afflictions such as depression, addiction, and everyday unhappiness. By analyzing insights from psychology, medicine, neuroscience, literature, philosophy, and theology, Dr Kessler deconstructs centuries of thinking on the subject.
Through a combination of psychological analysis and personal stories, Capture offers insight into how we form thoughts and emotions, manage trauma, and heal. This book provides a new basis for understanding the phenomenon of capture and its impact on our lives.
