    Buy now to get the main key ideas from Anna Lembke's Dopamine Nation 
  
Today’s culture is constantly becoming more insistent on avoiding pain or discomfort at all costs, at the price of chronic overconsumption of drugs, technology, and senseless pleasures. 
In Dopamine Nation (2021) psychiatrist Anna Lembke explores humanity’s ongoing battle with balancing pleasure and pain in everyday life. The release of dopamine, one of the neurotransmitters responsible for pleasure, can result from all sorts of activities and medications. But people are often prone to exploiting anything that releases dopamine. 
Dr. Lembke argues that we should stop running away from the pain in our lives and instead seek it out. Balancing pleasure and pain may be initially painful and difficult, but will ultimately lead to more rewarding experiences, long-lasting relationships, and healthier lives.
