Have you ever felt like you're lacking control over certain habits?

Are you curious about the neuroscience behind addictive behaviours?

What if you could understand how the brain works, and use that knowledge to regain control over your habits and lead a more fulfilling life?

Sex, shopping, eating, social media, drugs and gambling are just some of the things that can trigger a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is involved in the brain's reward system. The overindulgence of certain pursuits can disrupt the level of dopamine in our brain, which can steer us towards habits that do not align with our core values.

Fortunately, The Dopamine Brain offers a clear and practical way to help people find balance and harmony in their lives. The book is divided into three parts that weaves in the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, case studies and reflective questions.

> The first part helps you understand how dopamine works and identify activities that dopamine might have you hooked on.
> The next part encourages you to explore and reflect on your core values and building a life that is meaningful, enduring and satisfying.
> The last part will help you to make the change via sound psychological techniques.

By the end of this guide, Dr Hronis will help you feel empowered to make both pleasurable and purposeful choices, leading to a full, rich and meaningful life. Mental Health Neuroscience & Neuropsychology Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Thought-Provoking

I really enjoyed this book and took so much away from it, particularly the things that are driving my unhealthy habits in relation to social media, shopping etc. It has helped me to make it permanent changes to my lifestyle that are aligned with my values and to regulate those behaviours that are unhealthy so that I do have time in my day for things that are important and nurture me. I only gave it four stars overall though because the accompanying PDF only has the values and references - it could be improved by including the questions that the author asks you to consider in the latter chapters as it is hard to remember them when listening to an audio book. Otherwise this is an excellent book and I am sure everyone would get something out of it.

Loved it!....
