"Brilliant… riveting, scary, cogent, and cleverly argued."—Beth Macy, author of Dopesick
This
book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s
about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more
than ever finding balance is essential. We’re living in a time of
unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food,
news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking,
Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting . . . The increased numbers, variety,
and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic
needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such
we’ve all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption.
In Dopamine Nation,
Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new
scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of
pleasure leads to pain . . . and what to do about it. Condensing complex
neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how
finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check.
The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her
narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us
all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In
essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is
combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.
