In 2019, he wrote the bestselling book “Log Off Your Brain” (original Swedish title: "Skärmhjärnan: hur en hjärna i osynk med sin tid kan göra oss stressade, deprimerade och ångestfyllda") in which, based on current research, he describes how today’s digital lifestyle affects our brain and mental health. For this work, he received the prestigious Health Award of the Year.

"We must realize that there are very deep mechanisms within us as humans that are being exploited. We need to understand that technology has its downsides and learn to use it in a smarter way," Anders Hansen said in an interview.

In another publication, “Hjärnstark (...)", Hansen wrote: “Those who are not fascinated by the brain are not fascinated by anything.” Asked about the deeper meaning of this statement during an interview with King Magazine, he responded: “Essentially, what’s fascinating is that the experience of sitting here is constructed within an organ that looks like packed sausages and weighs as much as a carton of milk. The fact that this matter can create the experience of existence is unimaginable. We are molecules that have been formed in a way that allows us to experience ourselves and reflect on it.”

His genuine interest in the brain and improving human life is evident in his books, which are gaining increasing popularity worldwide.

Hansen’s books have been sold in 37 countries, including the USA, China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the UK, and Brazil.

Additionally, he wrote the script and hosted the popular science TV program "Din Hjärna", which aired on SVT1 (Swedish television) in five one-hour episodes in the fall of 2019. The program featured various experts, received multiple award nominations, and by 2024 had completed three seasons.

Moreover, Anders Hansen is an ambassador for Generation Pep, a non-profit organization promoting better health among young people.

"Physical activity is the forgotten medicine—it has nothing to do with sports or performance. It is something humans have evolved to do as a species. It is especially important when we are young. In this context, it’s unfortunate that we are leading increasingly sedentary lifestyles, especially young people. I am an ambassador for Pep because the organization addresses this issue professionally, purposefully, and with concrete results in mind, without a profit-driven agenda.”
