Symposium Books OCTOBER BOOK CLUB

Symposium Books' monthly Book Club is back for October! This month we are delving into Anna Lembke's "Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence". This bestseller comes at a relevant time and forces readers to look deeply into what we consume for pleasure.

Join us to pick apart this piece of nonfiction in a casual, round-table style. Seating will be arranged for evening ambiance. Copies are available in-store at Symposium as well as for shipping AND pickup on our website!

Book Club taking place this month on Thursday, October 24th at 6pm.

On "Dopamine Nation": '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.'
