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.
##道理都挺簡單的,有點囉嗦。 還是東方哲學有道理,不悲不喜。
評分##解釋瞭各種addiction中pleasure和pain的平衡關係。學到最有操作性的是dopamine fast這個概念。限製使用高dopamine的事物,能讓dopamine system重新敏感起來。另一點是如果想要戒掉一個壞習慣,要徹底斷絕至少一個月,纔能真的起效。過度的手機使用和進食都是addiction的形式。
評分##有用 但是覺得有些囉嗦
評分##作者對於大麻和psychedelic drugs隻呈現片麵的證據和陳述,甚至對抗抑鬱藥都有些偏見。此外,行文間透露瞭一股judgmental和privileged的氣息。書裏的有些知識點是還不錯,但我不喜歡這個作者。(沒準哪天就在學校裏遇見瞭...)

評分##homeostasis
評分##1. 在醫療被商業化的場景下,醫生也是wage slave 所以也解釋瞭“Why healers become dealers”。2. 近幾十年,人們對疼痛太敏感瞭 both mentally and physically pain。止痛是心理學層麵的延伸,傳統醫學認為,有時疼痛反而能夠evoke 自身的免疫機製(?)3. Dopamine Fast,和邊際效益遞減一個道理,過猶不及,省著用,不然就脫敏瞭。
評分##Pleasure and pain are co-located. What goes up must come down.
評分##比較基礎入門級彆
