About this audiobook

This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these:

Book 1: What is dopamine? And how does it work?

Dopamine has been the topic of many debates and discussions among neuroscientists, clinicians, and analysts. It has been controversial and fascinating at the same time. Dopamine seems to give us motivation to succeed, to exercise, to seek rewards, to survive, and to procreate. It rewards us when we follow our instincts and can be the source of addictive behavior. People with ADHD have special challenges regarding dopamine fluctuation and appear to frequently suffer from a deficiency or overdose.

Book 2: 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.

Book 3: 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.

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.

There are too many lousy audio books around, but this is definitely not one of them. The audiobook describes a number of viewpoints effectively. It also dives deeper in to the material. My favorite chapters were actually the last chapters, where the conclusion became clear. The audiobook explains numerous perspectives very well. It also dives deeper into the content. My favorite chapters were the final chapters, where the conclusion became obvious.

This audio book needs a big, fat 5-star review. 5 stars! By far the greatest thing that's happened to me this week. Such an interesting subject. I believe I will let my sibling or partner listen to it. They have to understand that there are actually audiobooks like these available.
