About this audiobook
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.
I encourage you to give this book a try and find out for yourself.

- 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 stars5/5I definitely loved this book! No joke! This is one of the best audiobooks I have found, which is exactly why I am taking a tiny minute to compose a comment about it. I don't think the word "awesome" does this specific book justice. There needs to be a much better word, and I will definitely keep looking, because it deserves something great to be said about it.
