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.
##Tilting towards pain helps the balance; You need abstinence for the balance to reset.
評分##感覺並不是很technical 例子太多和science關係不大 讀瞭3/4後棄
評分還蠻引人入勝的,pain &pleasure很有意思
評分##為什麼作者的書還不如她跟Huberman的podcast信息量大且密。聽那個episode即可,可惜瞭我的十幾美刀。// 很多時候,我們的“癮”也是一種基於經驗的self-belief和自我限製。Sometimes, all you need is a leap of faith and believing in yourself.
評分##A very well-written and well-structured introduction to pleasure, pain, their balance, and contemporary strategies. Concepts were redundant for me as a neuroscience student, but examples are helpful for illustrating how others, and by extension everyone including me, may fall into addiction – very sobering in that sense.
評分##Pleasure-pain balance這部分非常引人深思
評分##有用 但是覺得有些囉嗦
評分##homeostasis
