“Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke”

What a phenomenal read. It unpacks the neuroscience of reward and in so doing, enable us to find a better, healthier balance between pleasure and pain.

From Dr. Andrew Huberman recommendations.

7 lessons from the book:Image
Dopamine was first identified as neurotransmitter in the human brain in 1957.

It is not only the neurotransmitter involved in reward processing, but it plays a bigger role in the motivation to get a reward than the pleasure of the reward itself.

Wanting more than liking. Image
High dopamine substances trigger the release of dopamine in our brain's reward pathway. Image
