Summary

Elektryzujące odkrycia na temat pojedynczej cząsteczki chemicznej w mózgu, która popycha nas do tego, by osiągać to, co niezdobyte i odległe – czy chodzi o lot na Księżyc,solniczkę po drugiej stronie stołu, czy zbliżenie do absolutu。 Cząsteczka ta skłania nas do realizacji coraz to nowych celów。 Jest źródłem kreatywności, a jeśli posuniemy się za daleko – obłędu。

MIŁOŚĆ: Znalazłeś osobę, na którą od zawsze czekałeś, czemu więc
miesiąc miodowy nie trwa wiecznie?
Czyli o cząsteczkach chemicznych odpowiedzialnych za pragnienie seksu i zakochiwanie
się – a także o tym, czemu prędzej czy później wszystko się nudzi。

NARKOTYKI: Pragniesz wrażeń… ale czy to dobrze?
Czyli dopamina wygrywa z rozsądkiem, wzbudzając palące pożądanie
tak destruktywnych zachowań。

PANOWANIE: Jak daleko się posuniesz, by przejąć kontrolę?
Czyli dopamina rządzi。

TWÓRCZOŚĆ I SZALEŃSTWO: Zagrożenia i korzyści dla mózgu wybitnie
podatnego na działanie dopaminy
Jak dopamina przełamuje bariery pospolitości。

POLITYKA: Dlaczego nie możemy się po prostu dogadać?
Jak środki do dezynfekcji rąk wpływają na nasze poglądy polityczne?

POSTĘP: Co się dzieje, gdy sługa zmienia się w pana?
Jak dopamina zapewniła ludziom pierwotnym przetrwanie, a rodzajowi ludzkiemu gwarantuje teraz zagładę。 Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, John Nash, Albert Einstein, Friedrich Kekulé – u wszystkich nich widać różne aspekty działania dopaminy。

I learned a little bit, but to the authors made a lot of assumptions。 Not enough science。

Rafa

Libro interesantísimo y muy fácil y agradable de leer。 Lo recomiendo mucho。

Ariane

This book blew my mind, and made me rethink my motivation, behaviors and interaction with the world。 Some parts are a bit repetitive but overall it’s extremely compelling。

Easy to read, interesting and applicable to life

I really enjoyed this book。 It's outside my field, but assuming it is credible, it offers a very interesting framework for human behavior。 Maybe paired well with the Righteous Mind! I'd suggest people might enjoy reading it for a number of reasons, including understanding human behavior (and themselves), mental illness, creativity, and management。 Check it out if you enjoy science reading。 I really enjoyed this book。 It's outside my field, but assuming it is credible, it offers a very interesting framework for human behavior。 Maybe paired well with the Righteous Mind!

The book helps you understand dopamine and h&n (here and now) hormones on a scientific and a real life level which is extraordinary 。Dopamine is the hormone of desire and anticipation , when things are hard/uncertain it's what get you going (started) however it's always about the future and what's next once you get there the dopamine shuts down。H&N on the other side are about the moment and reality (vasopresin ,oxyctorin , endorphine , morphine, and emotion hormones) and I believe they are the r The book helps you understand dopamine and h&n (here and now) hormones on a scientific and a real life level which is extraordinary 。Dopamine is the hormone of desire and anticipation , when things are hard/uncertain it's what get you going (started) however it's always about the future and what's next once you get there the dopamine shuts down。H&N on the other side are about the moment and reality (vasopresin ,oxyctorin , endorphine , morphine, and emotion hormones) and I believe they are the reason why the flow state exist , H&N is is satisfaction。The book also explore a lot of aspects on how dopamine is related to creativity , intelligence , humanity progress (intellectually) and how to achieve balance between dopamine and h&n 。Couldn't have picked a better book to start of the year with 10/10。 。。。more

O carte foarte draguta despre cum dopamina ne influenteaza modul in care ne traim viata。 Aceasta substanta poate fi prietenul, dar si dusmanul fiecaruia。。。 Mi-a placut pt ca are si informatii stiintifice, dar si psihologice。

We live in the age of dopamine。 From gambling to gaming to VR metaverses, we are surrounded by technology designed for the specific purpose of exciting the dopaminergic pathways of our brain。This book gave me an understanding of the underlying biology of what we're dealing with。 The presentation was at a sufficient depth for me (I don't have a medical degree) without being overly simplistic。In the end this book is about hope and harmony。 About striking a balance between the "more" of our dopamin We live in the age of dopamine。 From gambling to gaming to VR metaverses, we are surrounded by technology designed for the specific purpose of exciting the dopaminergic pathways of our brain。This book gave me an understanding of the underlying biology of what we're dealing with。 The presentation was at a sufficient depth for me (I don't have a medical degree) without being overly simplistic。In the end this book is about hope and harmony。 About striking a balance between the "more" of our dopaminergic circuits and the "nothing more" of our serotonin and cannabinoid circuits。 。。。more

Stop looking in my brain! I mean keep it up it’s super insightful

Nitish

The scientific part is incredible and quite understandable。 But the most of part of this book I found more philosophical than an academic exercise。 Perhaps, the limited research in this area could be the reason。 Overall, this is a well-researched book。

I want to rate it 4 stars for quality of research studies presented and examples that truly helped me get my head around the role of different neurotransmitters in life, but I also want to give it 2 stars for a lot of the judgy and reductive stances the authors take。 Oh I wish this book was better。 But I learned a lot and I'm glad I read it。 I want to rate it 4 stars for quality of research studies presented and examples that truly helped me get my head around the role of different neurotransmitters in life, but I also want to give it 2 stars for a lot of the judgy and reductive stances the authors take。 Oh I wish this book was better。 But I learned a lot and I'm glad I read it。 。。。more

Estupenda obra de divulgación que nos recuerda que la mente no es más que un juguete del cuerpo。 Algún exceso reduccionista (explicar todo sólo por la vía hormonal), alguna salida de tiesto (querer explicar demasiado por la vía hormonal) pero mucha y buena divulgación biológica

The chapters on love and drugs were particularly of interest because, duh。 But in all honesty, I learned a ton about dopamine and other brain chemicals。 Dopamine is NOT the chemical of pleasure as it is often nicknamed。 It is the chemical of ANTICIPATION。 That's why dopamine is so heavily linked to: gambling (will I win?), falling in love (will they call me?), porn (what happens next?), adultery (will I get caught?), drugs/alcohol (will I get more?), social media (how many people will 'like' this?)I highly recommend this book to all my science nerd pals out there and to anyone interested in why humans behave the way they do! It's a moderate easy read - the science jargon is broken up by cool studies and stories。 I took 3 weeks to finish this book but will definitely give it a read again!!! 。。。more

Great book, i think everyone should read this to understand the things they do and how to live a better life。

Abhay Nanda

Misunderstand dopamine? I did。 It is more than a feel good, pleasure invoking hormone。 Discussing dopamine in general context of addiction, sex, love, ideologies, etc。 makes this book an interesting read。

Banu

Some repetitive parts but overall a good read and an interesting perspective。

Pretty illuminating! I walked away with a deeper understanding of what actually gets us motivated and puts us in pursuit of greater things。 But perhaps more importantly, what makes us feel stuck and give up。 It's all neurobiology/chemistry at the end of the day so a lot of this is not really actionable, except it does hit home the idea of starting small and believing in yourself。 "We need to believe we can succeed before we are able to succeed。 This influences tenacity。 We have greater tenacity Pretty illuminating!

This book starts out stronger than it ends, and is peppered with stronger/weaker bits throughout。 Sometimes the anecdotes and examples provided feel extremely poignant, and other times they feel totally unrelated。If you're looking to broaden your understanding of how dopamine relates to your lived experience, this book will definitely serve its purpose。 However, it's definitely got an axe to grind and gets a little preachy/prescriptive towards the end。Altogether, I'd say if you've already bother This book starts out stronger than it ends, and is peppered with stronger/weaker bits throughout。 Sometimes the anecdotes and examples provided feel extremely poignant, and other times they feel totally unrelated。If you're looking to broaden your understanding of how dopamine relates to your lived experience, this book will definitely serve its purpose。 However, it's definitely got an axe to grind and gets a little preachy/prescriptive towards the end。Altogether, I'd say if you've already bothered to search up a review that you're probably going to get enough value out of this book to go ahead and make the purchase。 Just don't set your expectations too high - it's less scientific and a little less persuasive than I was hoping。 。。。more

Amazing book about the molecule that determines our lives and the neurotransmitter that separates us, humans, from primitive animals。 When you simplify the brain: it's about dopamine vs H&N molecules (serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins and endocannabinoid) and dopamine。 And between desire dopamine vs control dopamine。 It supplements other books about the brain and is easy to read because of a nice balance between stories (about love, drugs and politics) and explanations。 Amazing book about the molecule that determines our lives and the neurotransmitter that separates us, humans, from primitive animals。 When you simplify the brain: it's about dopamine vs H&N molecules (serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins and endocannabinoid) and dopamine。 And between desire dopamine vs control dopamine。 It supplements other books about the brain and is easy to read because of a nice balance between stories (about love, drugs and politics) and explanations。 。。。more

case in point: addictive drugs)。- There is a difference between how much you value something vs how much you are willing to work for it。- The distinction between here/now (“peripersonal space”) and future possibility (“extrapersonal space”)。 Future possibility has to do with desire (motivation/drive/action) and planning, which relate to brain circuits that are heavily influenced by dopamine, rather than actual experience (which is dependent on other neuromodulstors, namely serotonin, oxytocin/vasopressin, opioids and endocannabinoids)。 Overactivation of the dopaminergic circuits will inhibit “here and now” brain states。 This distinction and how it applies to different aspects of life is the central theme of the book。- Something like finding a new partner might require “dopaminergic” behavior, but fostering a long-term relationship might require switching to a “here and now” outlook。- The concept of “reward prediction error”: finding out there is something new and unexpected to make your life better。- The distinction between immediate possibilities (“dopamine desire”, identified as the mesolimbic pathway) and longer term imagination/planning (“dopamine control”, identifies as the mesocortical circuit)。 Salient things trigger desire dopamine: they stand out as important things that can impact your future。 So you can also view those as the “salience circuit” (immediate benefits/desire) vs “control circuit” (maximizing long term benefits)。- Schizophrenia involves “low latent inhibition。, i。e。 attaching salience to ordinary things that ought to be familiar and therefore ignored。- Self-efficacy: “We need to believe we can succeed before we are able to succeed。 This influences tenacity。 We have greater tenacity when we encounter early success。”- The distinction between agentic and affiliative relationships。- The difference between domination and success。- How loss/risk aversion may be related to dopamine。- Modulating the brain’s neurochemistry (towards a dopaminergic vs a “here and now” state) may affect our moral judgments (in things like the trolley cart problem)。- The bipolar spectrum: bipolar I (episodes of severe depression and of severe mania), to bipolar II (sever depression but more mild episodes of elevated mood, i。e。 hypomania), to cyclothymia (mild depression and hypomania), to hyperthymic temperament (personalities that have no mood swings and are characterized by stable hyperdopaminergic states: overoptimistic, overconfident, boastful, energetic, uninhibited, risk-taking, etc), to people with above-average levels of dopamine activity (they experience no abnormal symptoms but may have enhanced motivation, creativity, a tendency towards risk-taking compared to average)。- “If you ask an addict how much crack he wants, there is only one answer: more。” More or less, this generally applies whenever we are primarily driven by desire。And here are two excerpts I found interesting: “We unconsciously know when someone has a high expectation of success, and we get out of their way。 We submit to their will—the overwhelming expression of their self-efficacy, powered by control dopamine。 Our brains evolved this way for a good reason: it’s a bad idea to get into fights you can’t win。 If you’re picking up signals that your adversary has a high expectation of success, the odds are that this is a fight you want to avoid。 This type of behavior is clearly seen in nonhuman primates。 Chimpanzees observing a dominant display constrict themselves to appear as small as possible。 On the other hand, when chimps respond to dominant displays with mirrored dominant displays, it usually marks the beginning of a long period of conflict that often ends in violence。”“As an object moves away from us, from the peripersonal H&N to the extrapersonal dopamine, our ability to perceive it drops off one sensory modality at a time。 First taste goes, then touch。 As the thing moves farther away we lose our ability to smell it, hear it, and finally to see it。 That’s when things get interesting。 How do we perceive something that is so far away that we can’t even see it? We use our imagination。”Overall, this is not a book that offers a deep or precise analysis of its subject。 On the other hand, it is easy to read, requires minimal time investment, contains some interesting thoughts and offers an extra interesting (and potentially useful) point of view into human behavior。 。。。more

با این که کتاب خوبی بود و اطلاعات مفیدی هم به ادم می داد و حتی دید جدیدی برای فکر کردن 。 ولی به نظرم کتاب از اون منطق علمیش و فکت های علمی فاصله گرفته بود و مثل یه کتابِ قانون موفقیت زرد تلاش می کرد ایده خودش رو در هر ضمینه ای ثابت کنه 。 نوعی جبر گرایی من تو کتاب می دیدم یعنی انگار هیچ پارامتر دیگه ای جز ترشح کم یا زیاد دپامین در عشق و نفرت و اعتیاد و 。。。 وجود نداره 。 در حالی که انسان خیل موجود پیچیده و انعطاف پذیری و حتی همه انسان ها از نظر تیپ شخصیتی و عملکرد رفتار یکسانی ندارند 。
