Description
"Resettling Your Brain in the Age of Cheap Pleasures"--
In which the author considers today's life full of multiple stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, You Tubing, tweeting...the increased numbers, variety, and potency are staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such, we have become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, the author illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness mean keeping dopamine in check. Recounting experiences from her practice, Lembke illustrates the suffering and redemption to give us hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. [From publisher's description] ,Provided by publisher.
