In 'Fast Food Nation', Eric Schlosser delves into the history and operations of the fast food industry, revealing its significant impact on American culture, health, and labor practices. The book explores the origins of fast food in California in the 1950s, the rise of chains like McDonald's, and the industry's manipulative marketing tactics, particularly aimed at children. Schlosser also discusses the exploitative labor practices, the destruction of independent family farms, lax food safety standards, and the contribution to a national epidemic of obesity. The book is based on extensive research and interviews with people involved in various aspects of the fast food industry, including workers, farmers, and health experts.

In this book, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma reshapes both the body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores various treatments, including neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga, which activate the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to aid in recovery. The book emphasizes the power of relationships in both causing and healing trauma and offers hope through descriptions of novel approaches to treatment. It is based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists in the field.
