What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.
