Dopamine Nation

Psychiatrist Anna Lembke explains how constant pleasure and easy rewards can leave us feeling worse, and how to find balance in an age of overload.

Three big ideas

  1. Pleasure and pain are linkedThe brain balances pleasure with pain; too much of one tips the scale toward the other.
  2. We live with too muchEasy access to screens, food and other rewards can overwhelm us.
  3. Take a breakA pause from something you overuse can help reset your balance.
