Synopsis

Developed to help readers move beyond the narrative of Dopamine Nation, this workbook sets out practical activities for engaging with Dr Lembke’s research and ideas. It draws on her work exploring how abundance can act as a stressor, and how this relates to rising rates of addiction, depression and anxiety.

Through specific exercises, fill-in tables and examples, readers are guided to identify substances and behaviours they find difficult to moderate. Dr Lembke also shares advice on undertaking a dopamine fast and resetting reward pathways, with the aim of supporting a happier and more fulfilling life.
