Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence by Dr. Anna Lembke
Join us for an engaging and informative discussion with our panel of local experts.
In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain . . . and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.
Check the Grosse Pointe Public Library or Harper Woods Public Library catalogs for copies of the book. Books can also be borrowed from The Family Center, just ask to borrow a copy when you register.
