About the book

A psychiatrist explores the neuroscience of pleasure and pain in an age of overabundance, explaining how constant access to high-dopamine stimuli leads to addiction and emotional distress. Drawing on clinical cases, it proposes a framework for resetting the brain's reward system through abstinence and self-binding.
