Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence

The book is written by Anna Lembke, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University. In the book, she explores the relationship between dopamine, the chemical transmitter in the brain responsible for feelings of pleasure and reward, and our modern habits that contribute to the release of dopamine, such as drug use, alcohol, technology, social media, and more.

The author discusses the problem of our addiction to the release of dopamine and how it can lead to imbalances, health problems, financial difficulties and other problems that can arise from these habits. In addition, she offers strategies for maintaining balance, including diet, exercise, meditation, and other means to reduce feelings of stress and addictions.
