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.
##感觉并不是很technical 例子太多和science关系不大 读了3/4后弃
评分 评分 评分##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.
评分##huberman anna lembke 很精彩的一本书,才知道为什么有人会对痛上瘾,解释了很多生活中的现象
评分##比较基础入门级别
评分##作者对于大麻和psychedelic drugs只呈现片面的证据和陈述,甚至对抗抑郁药都有些偏见。此外,行文间透露了一股judgmental和privileged的气息。书里的有些知识点是还不错,但我不喜欢这个作者。(没准哪天就在学校里遇见了...)
