From the book's back cover:
'In Dopamine Nation, psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Anna Lemkbe reveals why our relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain and what we can do about it. Bringing together cutting-edge neuroscience with gripping real life experiences from her clinical practice, Lembke explores how contentment and connectedness are essential tools in keeping dopamine in check. This is an essential book for anyone wanting to find a balance for a happier life.'
Divided into three main sections - the pursuit of pleasure, self-binding and the pursuit of pain, this is a compelling and informative read, frank and to the point, with a number of patient stories that are as moving as they are insightful and instructive in relation to the matter in hand - our cultural addiction to dopamine-fuelled states and behaviours and the impact on our brains.

A book for our time.
