About this deal

De la coperta de care m-am îndrăgostit, modul în care este organizată, dar și informația pe care mi-a oferit-o, este un deliciu. Sure, you can find the site of production of this neurotransmitter and go on to even manipulate drugs to modulate it to a certain extent, but in the end you haven't really explained anything. Even an object that is across the room (one that you can see), the desire to go and pick it up is driven by dopamine, because dopamine is the molecule that allows us to imagine a potential future.

I experienced this myself one year when I went on four separate multi-day vacations each precisely one month apart.For the first time, I see the intimate game between dopamine and serotonin playing out in my own thoughts and actions. An example of this is in a study where people in 2 groups were split and divided into being 1 set offered chocolate cookies that had been baked nearby so the room was full of the aroma of freshly baked food, and others were given radishes.

As Nietzsche would point out, most of modern science adds new layers to a problem, new questions, new conceptualizations, but no new answer. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. I'm in two minds about this book: it has made me think about things I've never considered before in a new light and done so in a memorable, fun way. Nobel Prize winning mathematician John Nash made fundamental contributions to game theory, differential geometry, and economics, and also lived with schizophrenia (he is portrayed by Russell Crowe in the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind based on the book of the same name).

This description beautifully echoed the teachings of spiritual giants like Ram Dass and Osho who have preached the transformative power of present-moment awareness.

Although those assigned to eat radishes did not eat any chocolate cookies, a further experiment was then carried out afterwards which set a task that was quite impossible to do. Was going through the pages and was wondering what do I even represent as a human, beyond my hormones. It's highly addictive to get core insights on personally relevant topics without repetition or triviality.For this profound transformation, I owe immense gratitude to the authors, for throwing light on the unseen forces shaping our human experience. We make up models of the world to try and understand how the world works and those models are created by the hormones in our body such as dopamine that create how we perceive everything and feel.

There is a bunch of interesting information in this book, but it is hard to tell if it is accurate or wishful thinking on the author's side. Aș recomanda înainte de lecturarea acestei cărți, alte două cărți care prezintă o descriere a mai multor hormoni: "Creierul fericit" de L Breuning sau "Excitat. Lieberman is highly entertaining, mixing the hard science with entertaining elements to make it more vivid, transporting it directly into the long term memory, except of course one is too stoned on dopamine and the data transmission affected by too much of whatever emotion. It describes the fact that the initial buzz of something exciting doesn’t last and this is due to the effect of the molecule receding.Because another way I got in contact with dopamine was via sport and dietary change, massively influencing and modifying my body chemistry with interesting side effects muahaha, no it really got better, I swear! uma mensagem simples mas profunda, como se a nossa própria humanidade fosse reduzida ao mecanismo de uma simples molécula, somos presos em todas aspectos de nossas vidas, não há escapatória pq a manifestação dela é o que define nossa identidade. Lieberman is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University.
