The Role of Dopamine

Why does love pass and feelings cool? Why do "thrills" lose their bright colors? Why can we be obsessed with the desire to get something and lose all interest as soon as it becomes ours? And what connects sex, creativity and political beliefs? The answer to these questions lies in a single molecule - dopamine. American researcher and psychiatrist Daniel Lieberman will tell you how this hormone makes us risk everything for the sake of the new and unknown. Equipped with the results of interesting scientific experiments and numerous "life" stories of real people, the book will become an excellent guide to the mysterious inner world of a person, capable of not only destroying existing myths about dopamine and hormones in general, but also helping to understand and explain our own emotions, feelings and reactions to the outside world.
