A practical companion to the international bestseller Dopamine Nation, for individuals, families, counsellors, teachers, and anyone who wants to go beyond the narrative and engage in practices that will reset reward pathways for a more flourishing life.
In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Lembke introduced readers to her groundbreaking research that demonstrates how abundance itself is a stressor, contributing to rising rates of addiction, depression, and anxiety. Now, she's written the workbook that her followers have been asking for. Full of writing exercises, example charts, and checklists, readers will be able to more clearly identify the substances and behaviours they have an unhealthy relationship with. They'll also understand the reasoning behind these tasks-for example, how using language to describe our behaviours strengthens our prefrontal cortex. With the warm, authoritative voice we know and love, Dr. Lembke will share her valuable advice on how to undertake your own dopamine fast.
Seventy percent of deaths across the globe are attributable to diseases caused by modifiable behavioural risk factors. The Official Dopamine Nation Workbook shares a hopeful message and the necessary scaffolding for how readers can improve their own lives through balance.
