A transformative guide to breaking free from impulsive habits and living a more intentional life, from an expert clinical psychologist

Do you want to live a life driven by intention, not impulse?

Are you curious about the neuroscience behind addictive behaviours?

Social media, eating and gambling are just some of the things that can trigger a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in our brain’s reward system that has a huge influence on our behaviours and habits.

In The Dopamine Brain, addiction expert and clinical psychologist Dr Anastasia Hronis lifts the lid on dopamine – what it is, how it works inside our brain and how it drives our daily choices – so we can take back control.

Packed with the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, fascinating case studies and actionable advice, you’ll find out:

• The ways dopamine is influencing your life
• Which psychological tools to use to break bad habits
• How to feel confident in balancing pleasure with purpose.

We all have the power to transform our life – this book will show you how.

Praise for The Dopamine Brain

The Dopamine Brain masterfully bridges the gap between complex neuroscientific concepts and everyday life, offering readers a clear and engaging exploration of how dopamine influences our behaviour. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to recalibrate their life's choices and live more deliberately.

Dr Rachel Menzies, The University of Sydney

Dr Anastasia mixes science, clinical stories, and even history in an intriguing story-like format about how dopamine is related to many things we do in every life, including gambling, drug abuse, excessive social media use and binge-watching TV. This book will help find the balance between pleasure and purpose, using scientific theories of how the brain works.

Professor Ahmed Moustafa, Head of School of Psychology and Head of Discipline (Criminology and Counselling) at Bond University

The Dopamine Brain was a fascinating and engaging read. Not only did it provide me with a wealth of information on how this neurotransmitter is produced in the brain and affects thought processes, but it also gave me the means to put this knowledge to practical use in my own life to more successfully live out my own values.

Ted Hartwell, Executive Director at the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling
