Modern life is geared to offer us the constant promise of easy rewards: online shopping, video games, TV binge watching, social media scrolling, that syrupy sweet venti latte every morning. Every time we indulge in one of these everyday “drugs,” we get a hit of dopamine, the feel-good chemical in our brain that creates that rush of pleasure and motivation. But dopamine has its downside: It can crash when we don’t get access to our substance of choice, leading us to fatigue and burnout. In this episode of Radio Headspace, Rosie Acosta talks to Anna Lembke, a renowned psychiatrist and the author of Dopamine Nation, about how this neurotransmitter affects us in our daily life and what happens when it becomes unbalanced, leading to addiction, anxiety, and even depression. Lembke offers tips for breaking the habit of reward-seeking and steering ourselves away from instant gratification.
