"Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence" is a book by Dr. Anna Lembke, a psychiatrist and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. In this book, Dr. Lembke explores the neuroscience of pleasure and pain, arguing that in a world of constant stimulation and easy access to dopamine-releasing activities, many people struggle with addiction and unhappiness. She introduces the concept of the "pain-pleasure balance" and offers insights and strategies for achieving greater balance, contentment, and genuine connection by understanding and managing our relationship with dopamine.
as our you know uh your former guest and my colleague uh Dr Anna lmy has said
""Andrew Huberman refers to his former guest and colleague, Dr. Anna Lembke, and quotes her advice about not boosting dopamine when in a trough. This is a clear author mention, and "Dopamine Nation" is her most relevant and popular book on this topic."
