From the publisher:
In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke explores the shocking modern landscape of compulsive overconsumption, where our need for quick dopamine hits—from drugs and food to smartphones and shopping—creates a profound imbalance in our brain’s reward circuitry. Through compelling patient stories and scientific insight, Lembke draws on decades of experience to explain why seeking pleasure and avoiding pain ultimately leads to pain, and what we can do to restore balance. Equal parts informative and compassionate, this book shows how embracing pain can be the gateway to recovery, connection, and contentment in a world of overwhelming abundance.
