I wanted to include this interview with Dr. Anna Lembke. She the author of Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence, and is a Stanford Medical School psychiatrist and researcher. This is a fantastic book and I have previously made a post about it.
I wanted to include the NPR interview on April 4th with Elise Hu and Audrey Nguyen. They recommend to go on a “dopamine fast” and to create obstacles between you and the behavior you would like to stop. I have also included the interview by Terry Gross with Dr. Lembke.
