interesting book on what can drive a behaviour

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 12 août 2022

We have gone from a world of scarcity, short-lived lives in often brutal conditions to a world of utter pleasure, all the comforts that could only have been dreamed of in the past and where we seek pleasure at all cost and hits of the neurotransmitter hormone that is dopamine fuels this pleasure seeking world in which we have a lot of time and a lot of resources. In a lot of ways we have gone from avoiding pain to now seeking pleasure at all costs without any awareness of what is going on and how the world and we work.
- We have become all consuming and seeking addiction in a myriad of ways; whether it be shopping, alcohol, drugs, consumerism, spending too long on social media and basically seeking pleasure at all cost. An interesting part that we have learnt recently is that pleasure and pain occur in the same part of the brain. And as we have become a nation of addicts addicted to at least something, particularly seeking distraction from normalised behaviour, we can learn a lot about how society and individuals with addictions can help with understanding everything else around us.
- We're also sociable animals and what we see for example on the Internet has almost normalised values and behaviours that previously we would've found obscene or difficult to handle. This when mixed with dopamine can cause a heady cocktail.
- This is from the book: “Seventy percent of world global deaths are attributable to modifiable behavioural risk factors like smoking, physical inactivity, and diet. The leading global risks for mortality are high blood pressure (13 percent), tobacco use (9 percent), high blood sugar (6 percent), physical inactivity (6 percent), and obesity (5 percent). In 2013, an estimated 2.1 billion adults were overweight, compared with 857 million in 1980. There are now more people worldwide, except in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, who are obese than who are underweight. Rates of addiction are rising the world over. The disease burden attributed to alcohol and illicit drug addiction is 1.5 percent globally, and more than 5 percent in the United States. These data exclude tobacco consumption. Drug of choice varies by country. The US is dominated by illicit drugs, Russia and Eastern Europe by alcohol addiction. Global deaths from addiction have risen in all age groups between 1990 and 2017, with more than half the deaths occurring in people younger than fifty years of age. The poor and undereducated, especially those living in rich nations, are most susceptible to the problem of compulsive overconsumption. They have easy access to high-reward, high-potency, high-novelty drugs at the same time that they lack access to meaningful work, safe housing, quality education, affordable health care, and race and class equality before the law. This creates a dangerous nexus of addiction risk.”
- We've also become more attuned at trying to distract ourselves than wake up to what is actually the human condition. We often are sleep deprived and feel anxious because we put so much pressure on ourselves and our working conditions are bad and where as before we might've said this is just part of the normal human condition of sadness, we have now labelled it a mental health problem and we try to find ways to ease the pain through distraction and addiction featuring highs of pleasure that reward our system by rushes of dopamine.
- There are interesting experiments where you get a dog to associate the ringing of a bell with the reward of food and this in turn is caused by dopamine in the brain to seek pleasure in something that is anticipated. In many people the greater joy is more in the wanting and seeking pleasure for example drug abuse or sexual activity then sometimes in the actual act of sleeping with somebody or taking the drug. We have reward systems that are triggered by dopamine.
- There are also some interesting facts about the percentage of dopamine in the brain of a rat in a box. Give it chocolate and this increases the basal output of dopamine in its brain by 55 percent, sex is 100%, nicotine is 150%, cocaine is 225% and amphetaimne is 1000%.
- The author then goes through a series of approaches to help us work out how we can support and change addictive nature to dopamine. It begins with the acronym DOPAMINE. D stands for data, O stands for objective, P stands for problems, A means abstinence, M is mindfulness, I is for insight, N is for next steps. Mindfulness is where we observe our mind and how it processes things. It's a bit like looking at the Milky Way from far away and trying to make some objective understanding of it near and far and that's the same thing that we do with our mind. By understanding and observing how our mind works and processes information we can then start to change how we feel about whatever addiction
- In experiments carried on rats and mice when they are given abstinence to substances that they have become addicted to, as soon as that substance comes back again, the rats tended to gouge and binge, showing how those who appear to be susceptible to addictions - after a period on the wagon can get really messed up. But the book also looks for things that are in our normal use such as smartphones, TV and food. And how we can manage those.
- The author also talks about the harm that medication is doing in regards to treatment of mental health disorders. We are over prescribing medications for many conditions which are part of the human condition and then we are then seen that actually it doesn't appear to be fixing the problem because there are more people with mental health problems whilst increases in medication for treatment in mental health has also risen.
- The author also talks about the link between pain and pleasure. Interesting research about cold water immersion and people having cold showers that can up dopamine and help people with withdrawal symptoms. Having seen some of the work of Wim Hof (the iceman) this corresponds with some of his treatments in regards to support and people with addiction problems and it's very interesting to consider. I have started having cold showers.
- The book also talks about rational honesty and how we are story generating machines and sometimes we need to have some honesty rather than to live close to others and ourselves as the first part of treatment. There is an interesting link between the frontal cortex which manages emotional regulation and decision-making and that when stimulated by pain seems to work more effectively in managing dopamine. There may also be some evidence that pain can help stimulate the frontal cortex. There is also a link between pain and pleasure and the stimulation of hormones can be related by both pain and pleasure.
- A fascinating book on how we can be ruled by our hormones, particularly dopamine, and by understanding this, we can help ourselves to lead better lives.

Incredible! A must read.

I had seen the book on Amazon but didn't really don't into it until after I listened to the interview she did with Andrew Huberman. I regret not reading this sooner. This book points out so many aspects of our current culture that we really need a gut punch to get us back to reality. An awakening to what's take going on around us and to us and how easy it is to use something, really anything, as a muse for our escape. And thus getting addicted to it. After reading this book I feel like I'm addicted to more than what I initially thought. It's thought provoking in the best way and really makes the reader look at themselves in an honest and sympathetic way. This will be the most important book I read this year. By far.

This book captured my attention from the moment I began. I’ve learned from this book that I have been addicted to every source of stimulation for my entire life, constantly searching for a new high to satisfy my desire. Whether it was food or social networking, or more recently exercise or work, I never felt satisfied with the status quo in my life. Immediately after reading the first couple chapters, I experimented with my addictive personality and dropped the incessant searching of my phone for someone to feed that cycle. It was as if a light turned on for the first time. Productive, energized, passionate thoughts raced through my mind and I felt like Superman. Interestingly, this feeling didn’t last but a week, assumingely because my dopamine levels had reset. However, I learned that what was keeping me attached to this life I thought I needed in order to be happy in this world, was due to the constant pinging of dopamine hits, and when I stopped feeding it, I could enjoy the little moments and even the bigger moments even more.

Saggio interessante ed informativo

Ho scoperto il libro per caso, attraverso un video su YouTube. Ho imparato alcune cose molto interessanti sui meccanismi biochimici ed il ruolo di certe sostanze, come la dopamina, sul nostro cervello. L'autrice scrive in maniera chiara ed accessibile, ed anche non essendo madre lingua, l'ho letto in inglese senza difficoltà. Lo consiglio.

It is not a bad book at all

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 6 février 2023

Achat vérifié

The book has really well touched topics and it is quite descriptive but at the end becomes almost impossible to read for a person who doesnt have a PhD and especially for someone whose English is not a first language. It is like the last two chapters are written from different person or at different time of his life, or his state of mind and done as a dissertation in English philology. Too hard to chew. Until I assimilate the information at the end and find out what exactly it meant I am distracting myself and forget where we started from. I really did not enjoyed the end which brought a bit of bitterness to me. The writer has a lot of experience as a psychologist but none as a real addict to something that is not so easy to get away from than what she said she was addicted to (I am not going to spoil it). Even so she gets most of the things right except the real difficulty to get rid of something that is in your bones. In simple words: “It is easy to say/write.”

An extremely well-written book by an expert in the field of overconsumption

Dr Anna Lembke's "Dopamine Nation" is a much needed read for any parent who might worry about their child's use of the smartphone and computer in search of pleasurable moments in a world of dangerous temptation and low morale. She convincingly guides you towards mastering itching cravings for your drug of choice. She is refreshingly straight-forward and her insight is admirable. An utterly informative book about how to guide your children towards taking control of their precious lives.
