"Brilliant... riveting, scary, cogent, and cleverly argued."--Beth Macy, author of Dopesick

This book is about pleasure. It's also about pain. Most important, it's about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We're living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting... The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we've all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption.

In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain...and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.

I love this Coach crossbody purse for travel and for everyday!
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I Love this black genuine leather Coach Legacy crossbody purse! Its literally the perfect size for traveling. I was able to wear it under my coat or jacket for extra security when needed in Europe. This one is a soft textured black leather that is very versatile. I also have one in Patent leather that's really cute and a little more dressy. Its well made with solid zippers, and a comfortable strap with solid metal rings and clips. I definitely recommend the Coach Legacy Zip Top Crossbody bag in any color you like. Its also a pretty affordable price.
