The Dopamine Brain

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. © Anastasia Hronis 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024
