"Dopamine Nation" by Anna Lembke (ep. 132)

This week, we will explore the wisdom of the book by Anna Lembke 'Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence'. Following my recent experiences shared with two of my close friends, I will invite you to consider the effects of dopamine on your well-being and health and raise a few questions worth reflecting upon concerning this unique reward-based system of our brain. I will also draw on my personal experiences with quitting smoking and marihuana addiction. I hope this episode and this book will be of help to you in your struggle against the many dopamine-driven behaviors, which may not necessarily be the best way forward. As per usual, I will give you a few concepts worth pondering and trying out in real-life situations in the days to come. There will also be several questions to reflect upon and a challenge to take up if you are brave enough to do so!

I hope this season will open your eyes to the power of books and encourage your next great read!

All the love, all the power, all of the time!
