??Super interesting, it???s an explainer on how dopamine works in our brains and the duality between pleasure and pain. It???s a good introductory book to the subject. A takeaway for me was that a good strategy to break an addiction pattern might be total avoidance of the thing I???m addicted to for at least 3 weeks. It might not work for everybody and not for every intensity of addiction, but for me, it works.??
