Dopamine generation. Where is the line between pain and pleasure

In today's entertainment-saturated world, humanity escapes into pleasure. We constantly need more and more pleasant sensations to maintain normal vitality. However, then it goes beyond all limits, and we are left alone with what, in fact, we are running away from - with indescribable omnipresent pain, without which, unfortunately, existence is impossible. So how can you deny yourself Facebook, games, coffee?

Anna Lembke tells how to maintain a balance between pain and pleasure, that is, to organically keep dopamine at the proper level. Her book explains the nature of addiction to various attributes of everyday life, as well as how to get out of a painful state when addiction no longer allows a person to adequately engage in everyday activities. Analyzing the personal stories of many people who were trapped by their dopamine receptors, the author gives hope for a fulfilling life without harmful habits that waste our time and energy.
