Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence by Anna Lembke
4.0
An interesting read. There is a lot to be gained from it, and yet nothing so striking that changed my mind drastically. Granted this also comes from my own personal and professional work in the recovery field.
It's a pop psychology read. What I mean by that is that there are deep psychological principles getting relayed in a way that mass audiences can consume. There is a lack of rigorous presentation of stats, data, and studies, but this is not a scientific paper. Diving deep into the research would make this far less accessible to those who need it. I would definitely recommend this Book to clients, but I would not say it's a life changing read.
I am glad I read it and I will reference it in my personal and professional recovery journey.
