Dopamine Brain

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.
