Generación dopamina

We have a problem: our brains have evolved to avoid pain, but instead we have become addicted to opposite stimuli: drugs, food, gambling, shopping, social media, pornography... Dopamine, the chemical, is responsible. It governs the pleasure and pain centers in the brain. Anna Lembke, a psychiatrist and addiction specialist at Stanford University, explains why binge drinking leads to addiction, depression and anxiety, and how to achieve the perfect level of satisfaction by keeping your dopamine levels in check. Captivating true stories of patients who fell prey to addiction and found their way out are the compelling fabric that unifies this intelligent, entertaining, and radically human work.
