Generación dopamina : Cómo encontrar el equilibrio en la era del goce desenfrenado

Video games, social media, processed foods, television series, e-cigarettes, marijuana, sex, pornography… The pursuit of instant gratification takes many forms, but they all have something in common: they stimulate the release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter of desire and pleasure. We are the dopamine generation, always fleeing from pain and seeking immediate gratification. Why, then, are we more unhappy than ever? Is it time to practice a dopamine “fast”? Anna Lembke, a psychiatrist and addiction specialist at Stanford University, explores this highly topical issue: the culture of instant gratification and how rampant consumption leads to addiction, depression, and anxiety. We can “reset” the brain to regain motivation and harmony. We can achieve the perfect level of satisfaction by keeping dopamine levels under control. We can reconnect with life.
