I'm curious what water filter you have, as many don't remove these chemicals.

Reply to comment by DevilsOfLoudun in Guys, in your experience, do personal development books really work? by julian_devid
This is akin to the (not-book related) idea that telling people your goal decreases your chances of reaching it because it causes a big dopamine hit.
"I'm gonna lose weight in 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023." Tell everybody, feel good about it, don't follow through on it.
Reading a book that gives an easy boost of serotonin or dopamine could have a similar effect through affirmation.

Reply to Is Hannibal Lecter a villain or an anti-hero to you in the novel/film The Silence of the Lambs? and why? by pablohax
In the film The Silence of the Lambs, Lecter is definitely an anti-hero. The sequel film (Red Dragon, which was actually an earlier book...) paints him as more of a villain or neutral evil character. He does let Dolarhyde get free and attack Will Graham again, which is more evil than anti-hero.
