About this audiobook
The following topics are included in this 2-book combo:
Book 1: There is a loop in life: We seek a reward, and we get rewarded with dopamine. This dopamine motivates us to seek more of it, and the cycle repeats itself. Such cycles can either be the basis of success and true fulfillment in life, or it can become a destructive pattern that leads someone to becoming dependent on fast fixes that turn out to be uncontrollable.
In today’s book, we’ll discuss what those fluctuating levels of dopamine do to our brains, which effect they can have on migraines, motivation, obesity, drug addiction, or food addictions. We will also briefly touch on what dopamine fasting is and what you can do to exercise more control over your appetites and live a balanced, satisfactory life.
Book 2: Dopamine makes us human. It has been proven over and over again that it manifests itself differently in animals. It has been researched and been found identical to human traits and our motivation to do anything in life, our creativity, and our problem-solving skills.
Dopamine is also a drug, a neurotransmitter our brains release and cause us to become dependent on substances, porn, attention, entertainment, or other pleasurable things in life.
In this guide, we will go over some of the great opportunities and dangers of dopamine. We will discuss the difference between the left and right brain, and the most common differences between dopamine in the female and male brain. Last but not least, we will share some thoughts about achieving goals and its relationship to dopamine triggers.
All of these topics can give you greater insight in your own psyche as well as others. Please take a look inside or listen to the audio version of the book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Without a doubt, one of the greatest books within this topic. It's an interesting principle, the whole premise of this book. You do not usually see that in some other books. And that's exactly why it can use a person like me to compose a few positive things about it. There were a lot of things within this book that I did not understand until now. I am thankful I got it. It was truly worth my time, especially because I listened to it while in my car to work.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not too shabby. As a matter of fact, I would practically say that it's impressive. The storyteller seems truly skilled, and the writer understands a ton about the subject. I guess the first number of sections were my favorite ones, since the whole concept that the subtitle talks about, is discussed. All of the basics are here. Later on in the book, more depth gets included, and I think this is what makes it so great.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The storyteller sounds quite professional, and the author knows a lot about the topic. Without a doubt, one of the greatest books in this niche market. I actually did not see something wrong with this book. If I am wrong, then let me know about that. But I found it to be nearly perfect, and that's what mattered to me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5You probably won't be sorry for purchasing this book. It gives you what it says it does. Interesting! Have you ever tuned in to a book like this? The narrator's voice was simply relaxing. Did I already point out that it seemed really professional? Well, it did. Without a doubt, and that's the reason that I loved listening to it so much.
