About this listen

Do you feel like you need something, all the time?

Does your brain run on stimulation, quick satisfaction, and immediate gratification?

You’re most likely one of many experiencing an issue that has slowly wrapped its hands around the throat of modern society at large—and that is dopamine addiction. In a world where a laugh and a cry are both a click away at any given moment, we’ve grown accustomed to getting what we want, right when we want it.The effect that repeated instant gratification has on brain chemistry is significant, and harmful. In the groundbreaking guide Dopamine Detox, you’ll rethink your daily actions, and quite literally rewire your brain for healthier, more optimal function. Topics explored include:

  • The science behind dopamine dependence, and how to avoid it
  • The complete steps involved in a dopamine detox
  • Post detox maintenance tips to keep your healthy habits going
  • The truth about multitasking, and how to deal with it.
  • The secret power of intermittent detoxes
  • And much more

When our addiction to immediate results begins to affect our daily lives, productivity, and overall happiness, it’s time to act, quickly.We are exposed to unhealthy, unnatural reward pathways all day, every day. The longer we let ourselves fall victim to them, the deeper the hole we’ll have to climb out of. Nothing great in life happens immediately. Set yourself up for long-term success and satisfaction.

A practical guide that, instructs and encourages.

I like the fact that it is a short read, free of unnecessarily long anecdotes and unwelcome character involvements. I personally hate books hovering over the border of fantasy and self-help genre. So I am glad to announce that it is a purely self help book and it did help me. I did notice some repetitive content, but nevertheless I manged to gather some useful insights and fresher outlook on certain concepts. I found the 'action-steps' discussed in the book very practical, doable and most importantly, very helpful. Which made me more open to actually try and benefit from a digital detox. Since author said she reads the reviews, I would actually like say to her : thank you!!

Fantastic book 🙌🏼

Our world is being taken over by apps and games and things that give us instant gratification. This book was eye opening to the fact that our brains are so easily over stimulated. Loved this book!

Excellent listen for changing behavior

This helped me get out of the rut I was in and regain control over my obsessive thoughts and the daily, mindless behaviors that were holding me back from being truly productive. I'd heard about the dopamine detoxes in the news before, but never knew how transformative they could be or where to even start, so I loved how this audiobook provided realistic action plans that explained exactly what activities to avoid and what to expect. It's a great listen for people trying to break bad habits or those who are on a journey towards addiction recovery.

Dopamine Detox

Most of us get hard times completing tasks because we get destruction from our phones and and thus get us to fail in achieving our goals and ambitions we desire. this is what wee get to learn from the introduction part of the book.
In chapter one from the full defination of what DOPAMINE is , we get ourselves to know that dopamine sends signals to our brains allow feelings for us to perform something. We get to understand the dangers of various habits to the brain hence dopamine becoming the main key that keeps us alive.
From chapter 2, when someone is atressed, they get to think about their tasks negatively. And also we multitask due to the brains receiving Dopamine stimulations. By this , we may also fail to achieve our goals due to getting destination from phones and this leads to our brains not being productive

We get to know that dopamine plays a big role in survival in chapter 3. This interaction with the body neural system makes us do a lot of things. This is because the brain gets associated with the pleasures transmitted.Dopamine doesn't know whats good for us or bad for us
In chapter 4, we get to learn more about what we can do on a Dopamine Detox. We learn that we should implement daily habits that slowly replace the activities that we don't enjoy which may hinder us from hitting the next achievable goals. Meditation is also a great tool to enhance one's productivity and concentration. And one should consider going somewhere he/she feels better and comfortable and give your brain another chance to create boundaries.
In chapter 5, the partial Dopamine Detox tells us to meet ourselves where we are. Goals and inspirations might look different for everyone and the Partial Dopamine Detox to start , because if you're investing in self care, then you are likely to suffer.
In chapter 6 we are related to flashback the COVID-19 pandemic and get to be introduced to meditation. This situation affecting the greatest percentage globally, the pressure to work from home was all that mattered. We learn how practice some measures to improve our mental health, because many of us due to the pandemic were unable to create newer better habits of preventing danger of suffering.
Chapter 7 is a special inspiration to daily tasks and we learn how to to get rid of situations when daily impacts are negatively ruining your life.
I really recommend this book to everyone globalization its so educating and inspiring.

Necessary Awareness for the 21st Century

Living within the Information Age, where almost every conceivable pleasure and distraction offers itself through our smartphone screens, there's no question that we've suffered or are still suffering from overstimulation, be it technology, obsessive thoughts, food, drugs, you name it. Especially during the lockdowns of the early Pandemic, the allure of wanting to consume more and more for the same hit was very pronounced for me, it made me hyperaware of the dependence I've developed to the pleasing distractions of an external vice, impacting both my motivation and productivity. This text brought into awareness that this struggle for detoxing is indeed a rewiring of our brain's inclination towards negative thoughts and cyclical reinforcing of easy pleasure, there's no need for shame or self-deprecation for our unconscious habits, because it's in the awareness of the loop we're in which is the first step, since actions are products of thoughts. What I particularly found interesting was the chapter on the partial dopamine detox, integrating elements of mindfulness and restraint during a day's course without suffering a pronounced sense of withdrawal and laying the groundwork for more focus, presence, fulfillment. Incredibly practical and understandable, offering the overstimulated mind a map into empowering integration and realization of life goals.

Positively Life Changing!

I really loved reading this book! Ms. Linda Hill gives excellent advice and tips about how to go on a Dopamine Detox -- which I plan to do right away.

I learned a lot reading this book; I especially liked in Chapter 4 when Hill advises readers to clean out their closets and donate their old clothes to charity. This book will help me to stop procrastinating. And I am also going to start drinking more water to improve my health.

I like how Hill discusses the importance of meditation and its positive effects on our concentration and productivity. I am also going to reduce my dopamine stimuli -- now that I am aware of how damaging it can be. I also learned how to live in the present through meditation in Chapter 6.

Very Insightful

Dopamine Detox was honestly one of the most interesting books I have listened to in a while. This book addressed my own struggle with productivity, and more importantly provided a realistic approach to taking steps to improve. I also enjoyed the modern approach to the text- addressing issues such as social media, working from home, balancing social lives as well as children, and the impact COVID has had on our lives. I would recommend this to anyone who is struggling to break a habit, overcome an addition, or simply wish to increase productivity in everyday life.
