What is Dopamine?: Mastering the Chemical that Drives Desire, Motivation, and Addiction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798272555878)

You're trying to focus. You know the big goals are waiting, but you still spend hours scrolling, refreshing, chasing the next tiny reward, and feeling that gut-wrenching anxiety when you finally look up and realize the day is gone.

You've tried willpower. You've downloaded Focus apps. But you still feel exhausted and paralyzed by inertia. Why? Because you have not mastered the one molecule in your head that the modern world is engineered to hijack.

What is Dopamine? Is that book that will give you all the tools to stop fighting your urges and start mastering the system that creates them.

In this book, you will discover:

• Why the modern world's easy pleasures are difficult to get away from.
• How to stop chasing dopamine spikes (wanting) and start cultivating Serotonin-based contentment (liking).
• The exact steps for a voluntary chemical reset that forces your brain to restore receptor sensitivity and makes you start afresh.
• How to master the environment so that high-effort tasks become the path of least resistance.
• How to gamify motivation, creating reliable, clean dopamine hits that reward persistence, not procrastination.
• How to protect your child's still-developing reward system from super-stimuli.

If you are ready to stop being a passive victim of your own impulses and finally master the engine that drives every action you take, this book will show you how.
