Episode: EP30 Dr. Anna Lembke of Dopamine Nation
Description: In my conversation with Dr. Anna Lembke, we discuss many of the core insights from her influential book Dopamine Nation, such as the pleasure-pain seesaw, the DOPAMINE framework, and how leaning into pain can lead to a restored pleasure balance. She shares numerous tools we can use in avoiding our compulsive urges, such as time restraints, exercise, cold immersion, and community. We also touch on technology & social media's role in our modern world, where notifications delivering digital dopamine keep us glued to our devices. I learned so much from Dr. Lembke and think you will too!
