具体描述
This book is about pleasure. It’s also about pain. Most important, it’s about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We’re living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting… The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we’ve all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption.
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.

##A very well-written and well-structured introduction to pleasure, pain, their balance, and contemporary strategies. Concepts were redundant for me as a neuroscience student, but examples are helpful for illustrating how others, and by extension everyone including me, may fall into addiction – very sobering in that sense.
##比较基础入门级别
##道理都挺简单的，有点啰嗦。 还是东方哲学有道理，不悲不喜。
##年度最佳。 在这个多巴胺横流，廉价快乐泛滥，智能手机成为注射器的时代。我们终该改变点儿什么。 I saw in their brokenness my own vulnerability and humanity. I was reassured that I was not alone in my doubts, fears, and weaknesses.

##警示名言类型的书，但总觉得科学性还是差了点，可能因为图书写作的缘故，参考资料没有用文内引用的形式，都写在后面了？
##读到一半果断弃，看完conclusion ，庆幸弃了。斯坦福精神科成瘾问题主任，对成瘾的见地就这么表面的么？见到的病人都是生活优越，完全没有一丢丢复杂的社会因素导致成瘾的么？对抗成瘾就是自律，戒断一个月，就酱？拿自己喜欢看言情小说来共情成瘾患者，是不是有点搞笑了？有一些启发，但总体看不下去。
