Do you feel like you need something, all the time?

Does your brain run on stimulation, quick satisfaction, and immediate gratification?

You’re most likely one of many experiencing an issue that has slowly wrapped its hands around the throat of modern society at large—and that is dopamine addiction. In a world where a laugh and a cry are both a click away at any given moment, we’ve grown accustomed to getting what we want, right when we want it.The effect that repeated instant gratification has on brain chemistry is significant, and harmful. In the groundbreaking guide Dopamine Detox, you’ll rethink your daily actions, and quite literally rewire your brain for healthier, more optimal function. Topics explored include:

• The science behind dopamine dependence, and how to avoid it
• The complete steps involved in a dopamine detox
• Post detox maintenance tips to keep your healthy habits going
• The truth about multitasking, and how to deal with it.
• The secret power of intermittent detoxes
• And much more

When our addiction to immediate results begins to affect our daily lives, productivity, and overall happiness, it’s time to act, quickly.We are exposed to unhealthy, unnatural reward pathways all day, every day. The longer we let ourselves fall victim to them, the deeper the hole we’ll have to climb out of. Nothing great in life happens immediately. Set yourself up for long-term success and satisfaction.

A practical guide that, instructs and encourages.

I like the fact that it is a short read, free of unnecessarily long anecdotes and unwelcome character involvements. I personally hate books hovering over the border of fantasy and self-help genre. So I am glad to announce that it is a purely self help book and it did help me. I did notice some repetitive content, but nevertheless I manged to gather some useful insights and fresher outlook on certain concepts. I found the 'action-steps' discussed in the book very practical, doable and most importantly, very helpful. Which made me more open to actually try and benefit from a digital detox. Since author said she reads the reviews, I would actually like say to her : thank you!!

Addicted to dopamine is no joke.

This book points out the numerous ways so many of us are addicted to things that give us pleasure or take our minds off the things we should be doing. Dopamine is the culprit. This book shows what it does to us and how to break the dopamine habit. Everyone should read this and learn how to control this brain chemical.

Excellent listen for changing behavior

This helped me get out of the rut I was in and regain control over my obsessive thoughts and the daily, mindless behaviors that were holding me back from being truly productive. I'd heard about the dopamine detoxes in the news before, but never knew how transformative they could be or where to even start, so I loved how this audiobook provided realistic action plans that explained exactly what activities to avoid and what to expect. It's a great listen for people trying to break bad habits or those who are on a journey towards addiction recovery.

Loved it!!

Dopamine detox by Linda Hill is a book that discusses the benefits of dopamine detox. The author discusses how dopamine dysfunctions lead to a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, and addiction. Hill provides readers with a step-by-step guide to dopamine detox, which includes instructions on how to correctly use supplements and foods to boost dopamine levels. The book is designed for those looking for ways to improve their overall health and well-being. It has helped my spouse and I a lot, so I would like to recommend it to others.

Necessary Awareness for the 21st Century

Living within the Information Age, where almost every conceivable pleasure and distraction offers itself through our smartphone screens, there's no question that we've suffered or are still suffering from overstimulation, be it technology, obsessive thoughts, food, drugs, you name it. Especially during the lockdowns of the early Pandemic, the allure of wanting to consume more and more for the same hit was very pronounced for me, it made me hyperaware of the dependence I've developed to the pleasing distractions of an external vice, impacting both my motivation and productivity. This text brought into awareness that this struggle for detoxing is indeed a rewiring of our brain's inclination towards negative thoughts and cyclical reinforcing of easy pleasure, there's no need for shame or self-deprecation for our unconscious habits, because it's in the awareness of the loop we're in which is the first step, since actions are products of thoughts. What I particularly found interesting was the chapter on the partial dopamine detox, integrating elements of mindfulness and restraint during a day's course without suffering a pronounced sense of withdrawal and laying the groundwork for more focus, presence, fulfillment. Incredibly practical and understandable, offering the overstimulated mind a map into empowering integration and realization of life goals.

Positively Life Changing!

I really loved reading this book! Ms. Linda Hill gives excellent advice and tips about how to go on a Dopamine Detox -- which I plan to do right away.

I learned a lot reading this book; I especially liked in Chapter 4 when Hill advises readers to clean out their closets and donate their old clothes to charity. This book will help me to stop procrastinating. And I am also going to start drinking more water to improve my health.

I like how Hill discusses the importance of meditation and its positive effects on our concentration and productivity. I am also going to reduce my dopamine stimuli -- now that I am aware of how damaging it can be. I also learned how to live in the present through meditation in Chapter 6.

Very Insightful

Dopamine Detox was honestly one of the most interesting books I have listened to in a while. This book addressed my own struggle with productivity, and more importantly provided a realistic approach to taking steps to improve. I also enjoyed the modern approach to the text- addressing issues such as social media, working from home, balancing social lives as well as children, and the impact COVID has had on our lives. I would recommend this to anyone who is struggling to break a habit, overcome an addition, or simply wish to increase productivity in everyday life.

Learn the Why and Deal with the How

Learn Why You Do It and How You Can Control It

So this fairly explains why you can get stuck on your phone all day long. This book is an interesting read for someone who would like to understand the reason behind one’s behavior whether about getting glued to a mobile phone or a gaming chair. It also sheds light on the science behind the motivation of wanting more due to some rewarding experience. If you have not encountered the word, it is dopamine, a hormone that gives you that bliss! And you need not confront this feeling at your own risk with some handy words of wisdom from Linda Hill, no less. My takeaway is that you should always keep things in moderation. Now, a regular dose of dopamine detox would not hurt. I understand that this is easier said than done so another content on some strategies to control one's addictive habits may be useful.

A Guide to Overcoming Addiction

Readers of this guide learn strategies that help overcome social media, pornography, and drug addiction and ways to stop constant negative thoughts. The author offers alternatives to the standard dopamine triggers. These alternatives help to build self-esteem and create a more positive life.

The format of the book is easy to follow. I recommend it to any adult struggling with addiction.
