Primal Connection ~ Hardback ~ Mark Sisson

Are You Hyperconnected and Disconnected? The frenetic pace of modern life distracts us from a painful truth: we are disconnected. Disconnected from our DNA recipe, forged through the selection pressure of human evolution, to enjoy health, happiness, and peace of mind. Horns, office chatter, and whirring machines batter our ears with incessant noise. Artificial light and digital stimulation over-stress our nervous systems day and night. Traffic jams, long lines, interruptions, distractions, and big egos pervade daily life in such a manner that we don't even realise the piece -- or rather the peace -- that has gone missing. In this book Mark Sisson, the leading voice in the Evolutionary Health movement, and best-selling author of "The Primal Blueprint" presents innovative, step-by-step guidelines to reconnect you with the hard-wiring of the human brain, trigger the release of feel-good hormones, and promote optimal gene expression. This book is about setting your own daily pace, redefining your core values, and making time for play, for thrilling adventures, for quiet reflection, for friends and family, and for optimal rest and rejuvenation -- while still enjoying the comfort and convenience of modern life!
