The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity--And Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race by Daniel Z. Lieberman, Michael E. Long
4.0
The following is an excerpt from the book. This is how Dopamine is introduced to the reader:
"It is fuel for the motor of our dreams; it is the source of our despair when we fail. It is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. It is also why we are never happy for very long.
"To your brain, this single molecule is the ultimate multipurpose device, urging us, through thousands of neurochemical processes, to move beyond the pleasure of just being, into exploring the universe of possibilities that come when we imagine."
An engaging and informative book, it explains the role of dopamine in our behaviour. It gives a fantastic look on this molecule.
Highly recommended.
