Radical Surrender

Letting Go in a World Addicted to Control - the new book by the international bestselling author of Dopamine Nation

De: Anna Lembke

In her new book, Radical Surrender, Anna Lembke-Stanford professor, doctor, and New York Times bestselling author of Dopamine Nation, with over 1.5 million copies sold-offers readers inspiring stories and transformative tools for letting go in a world engineered for certainty and control.

Using her personal story of deep loss and subsequent spiritual awakening as a powerful entry point, Dr. Lembke opens the door to a vitally important aspect of life that has been badly neglected in modern society-the embrace of spirituality, practice of prayer, and connection to a greater purpose and meaning in the universe. Or, as she puts it, "spiritual surrender in a secular world ... and why such surrender may be the missing piece for so many of us denizens of the twenty-first century."

Through relatable stories and cutting-edge brain science and research, Dr. Lembke explains how spiritual surrender and transcending the self leads to better family and work relationships, more happiness and control as a parent, and overall, a feeling of serenity in an increasingly divisive and complex world. This crucial process helped her let go of hyper-control and experience spontaneity and enjoy life again-all things she's helped patients do, stories she'll cover in the book, and will guide readers to as well.©2026 Anna Lembke (P)2026 Headline Publishing Group Limited
