On today’s summer special, I am joined by Dr. Anna Lembke, a Professor of psychiatry at Stanford Univeristy and the best-selling author of Drugdealer, MD and most recently Dopamine Nation. In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain. Most importantly, she tells readers how to find the delicate balance between the two. Today we speak about how we’re living in a time with unprecedented access to high dopamine stimuli such as drugs, food, news and social media. Dr Anna Lembke explains that we’ve all become vulnerable to overconsumption and how we can stop overindulging and ultimately transform our lives.
