About the book
Psychiatrist Anna Lembke examines why the constant chase for pleasure ends in pain, at a time of easy access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli such as drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting and social media. She describes the smartphone as a modern hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine around the clock. Combining recent neuroscience with stories from her clinical practice, Lembke sets out what can be done about this pursuit of pleasure. Her approach pairs the science of desire with lessons drawn from recovery from addiction. The book became a best seller in both the United States and Britain.
Andrew Huberman called it an excellent book that he recommends to everyone, addicts or not.
