Publisher's Synopsis
Do you want to live a life driven by intention, not impulse?
Are you curious about the neuroscience behind addictive behaviours?
Social media, eating and gambling are just some of the things that can trigger a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in our brain's reward system that has a huge influence on our behaviours and habits.
In The Dopamine Brain, addiction expert and clinical psychologist Dr Anastasia Hronis lifts the lid on dopamine - what it is, how it works inside our brain and how it drives our daily choices - so we can take back control.
Packed with the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, fascinating case studies and actionable advice, you'll find out:
The ways dopamine is influencing your life
Which psychological tools to use to break bad habits
How to feel confident in balancing pleasure with purpose.
We all have the power to transform our life - this book will show you how.
