Dopamine nation : finding balance in the age of indulgence / by Lembke, Anna,1967-author.(CARDINAL)413318;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-273) and index.Introduction: The problem -- The pursuit of pleasure. Our masturbation machines ; Running from pain ; The pleasure-pain balance -- Self-binding. Dopamine fasting ; Science, time, and meaning ; A broken balance? -- The pursuit of pain. Pressing on the pain side ; Radical honesty ; Prosocial shame -- Conclusion: Lessons of the balance."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 are living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. Lembke explores new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain-- and what to do about it. She illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.--

The molecule of more : how a single chemical in your brain drives love, sex, and creativity-and will determine the fate of the human race / by Lieberman, Daniel Z.,1964-author.(CARDINAL)418221; Long, Michael E.,1963-author.(CARDINAL)418222;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : Up versus down -- Love -- Drugs -- Domination -- Creativity and madness -- Politics -- Progress -- Harmony.Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more: more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Dopamine is the source of our every urge, that little bit of biology that makes an ambitious business professional sacrifice everything in pursuit of success, or that drives a satisfied spouse to risk it all for the thrill of someone new. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it's why we gamble and squander. From dopamine's point of view, it's not the having that matters. It's getting something--anything--that's new. From this understanding, the difference between possessing something versus anticipating it, we can understand in a revolutionary new way why we behave as we do in love, business, addiction, politics, religion...and we can even predict those behaviors in ourselves and others. In "The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity-and will Determine the Fate of the Human Race," George Washington University professor and psychiatrist Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD, and Georgetown University lecturer Michael E. Long present a potentially life-changing proposal: Much of human life has an unconsidered component that explains an array of behaviors previously thought to be unrelated, including why winners cheat, why geniuses often suffer with mental illness, why nearly all diets fail, and why the brains of liberals and conservatives really are different.

Diet, drugs, and dopamine : the new science of achieving a healthy weight / by Kessler, David A.,1951-author.(CARDINAL)770758;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [273]-282) and index.Environment is destiny -- The addictive power of food -- Betrayed by our own biology -- Sensitivity and susceptibility -- The legacy of obesity -- Regain as relapse -- Body positivity, health positivity -- The journey -- The biological forces that oppose weight loss -- How to determine your healthy weight goal -- Toxic fat -- Resetting body weight -- A new era -- Using the anti-obesity drugs -- Managing major weight loss -- The path toward healthy eating -- The role of insulin resistance -- Eating to support health -- A new way of viewing behavioral therapy -- Tricks of the mind -- Continuing the journey -- A new landscape -- You couldn't have designed a better weapon -- The food industry has us in their sights -- The gold rush of weight-loss drugs -- Economics and equity -- Epilogue: The food movement is here."The struggle is universal: we work hard to lose weight, only to find that it slowly creeps back. In America, body weight has become a pain point shrouded in self-recrimination and shame, not to mention bias from the medical community. For many, this battle not only takes a mental toll but also becomes a physical threat: three-quarters of American adults struggle with weight-related health conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. We know that diets don't work, and yet we also know that excess weight starves us of years and quality of life. Where do we go from here? In Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine, former FDA Commissioner Dr. David A. Kessler unpacks the mystery of weight in the most comprehensive work to date on this topic, giving readers the power to dramatically improve their health. Kessler, who has himself struggled with weight, suggests the new class of GLP-1 weight loss drugs have provided a breakthrough: they have radically altered our understanding of weight loss. They make lasting change possible, but they also have real disadvantages and must be considered as part of a comprehensive approach together with nutrition, behavior, and physical activity."--Provided by publisher.

Into the abyss : a neuropsychiatrist's notes on troubled minds / by David, Anthony S.,author.(CARDINAL)820403;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Dopamine -- Strawberry fields forever -- Losing my religion -- Just the two of us -- You are what you eat -- Silent music -- We are family.We cannot know how to fix a problem until we understand its causes. But even for some of the most common mental health problems, specialists argue over whether the answers lie in the persons biology, their psychology or their circumstances. As a cognitive neuropsychiatrist, Anthony David brings together many fields of enquiry, from social and cognitive psychology to neurology. The key for each patient might be anything from a traumatic memory to a chemical imbalance, an unhealthy way of thinking or a hidden tumour. Patrick believes he is dead. Jennifer's schizophrenia medication helped with her voices but did it cause Parkinsons? Emma is in a coma or is she just refusing to respond? Drawing from Professor Davids career as a clinician and academic, these fascinating case studies reveal the unique complexity of the human mind, stretching the limits of our understanding.
