“Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence” 

by Anna Lembke, M.D.

Summary:

We live in a time in which finding a “dopamine hit” is not just tempting, but incredibly easy. Our brains are designed to seek high-reward activities in the form of food, video games, drugs, news, shopping, texting, and on and on and on. We all no doubt have moments when we realize that our attention spans, relationships and quality of life are negatively impacted by the endless search for the next “hit.”

In “Dopamine Nation,” psychiatrist and author, Dr. Lembke explores new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure actually leads to pain – and what we can do to shift our patterns in healthy ways that provide long-term rewards.
