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.
Copies of the book are available at the Grosse Pointe Public
Library and Harper Woods Public Library. They can also be
borrowed from The Family Center.
