Brain Reset

De: David Gillespie

Narrado por: David Gillespie

Anxiety, depression and addiction are the scourge of modern-day living. How are they linked? How do we beat them?

According to bestselling author and researcher David Gillespie, we are more addicted than ever before, which is playing havoc with our dopamine levels. This is fuelling epidemic-like levels of depression, anxiety and stress.

Gillespie reveals a large and robust body of research that shows how addictive activities, such as screen use, sugar consumption, drinking, gambling, shopping and smoking, spike our dopamine levels. This, in turn, affects our brain's ability to regulate our mood.

The good news is that we can break the cycle to make things better. There are myriad root causes of mental illness, many of which are beyond our control; David argues that it makes sense to tackle the thing that is within our control - our see-sawing dopamine levels.

Packed with cutting-edge research and practical advice, David's latest book arms us with the tools we need to break our addictions, conquer uncertainty and reset our brains.

Concise and well Presented

It’s the sort of book that needs to be listened to with a notepad by your side. Lots of interesting insights and some useful, practical suggestions. Whilst the book does not provide a definitive set of instructions to reset the brain the explanations about Brian biochemistry are well explained and useful in understanding why we act like we do and how we interact with broader society. I’ve taken on many of the suggestions with positive outcomes.

Misleading

The majority presented was simply about STATISTICS. No solutions for resetting anything. Disappointing and was not worth my time.
