Description:

Dopamine Machine offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary examination of cognitive neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and contemporary social dynamics. The work employs a holistic approach to explain the neurochemical underpinnings of dopamine-driven behaviors, situating them within a highly relevant modern context. Through a thorough exploration of human neural circuitry, neurotransmitter pathways, and established psychological principles, it investigates the evolution of sociocultural dynamics and their implications for mental health in today's society.

This book synthesizes a body of over 500 academic references to provide an in-depth, distinctive original framework for the relationship and dynamics between neurobiology, modern culture, and psychology. Additionally, real-world experiences derived from client-centered practice enhance this timely exploration, making it an valuable resource for those seeking a deeper scientific understanding of neuropsychological phenomena in the digital age
