Jak na dopamin - Praktický průvodce k nalezení rovnováhy ve věku požitků – Lembke Anna (2025)

This practical guide was created as a supplement to the more extensive successful book Dopamine (Triton 2022). The author starts from the basic idea that abundance itself is a stressor that globally contributes to the rising number of addictions, depression, anxiety, and suicides. She introduces the concept of the abundance paradox: the richer a country is and the more accessible mental health treatment becomes, the unhappier, more depressed, and more anxious its inhabitants are. Constant exposure to instant gratifications changes the brain. We suffer from the stress of excess.

The guide is intended for anyone who decides to change the ways in which they reward themselves. It will help you better navigate the issues of pathological pleasure and pain. With a wealth of interactive exercises and inspiring examples, you will be able to more accurately identify the addictive substances and behaviors you are considering limiting or changing. You will receive guidance on how to plan, initiate, and successfully complete a dopamine fast, work towards resetting the reward pathways in the brain, and ultimately lead a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.
