"Wir sehnen uns nach einem glückerfüllten Leben – und begnügen uns allzu häufig mit einem schnellen Hormonkick, der langfristig innere Leere erzeugt. Sei es, dass wir endlos durch die sozialen Medien scrollen, uns in haltlose Kaufräusche stürzen oder eine romantische Beziehung vernachlässigen, weil wir uns zu sehr an sie gewöhnt haben. Schuld daran ist der Botenstoff Dopamin, welcher uns nach immer neuen Reizen verlangen lässt. Erfolgsautor und Dopamin-Experte Michael E. Long erklärt, warum das sogenannte Glückshormon uns in den entscheidenden Bereichen unseres Lebens auf fatale Weise in Richtung Unzufriedenheit und Sucht steuert. Zugleich liefert er wirkungsvolle Strategien, um dauerhaft aus diesen Mustern auszubrechen. Lernen Sie, wie Sie den Belohnungseffekt von Dopamin zum Erreichen Ihrer Ziele einsetzen können, statt sich von ihm fehlleiten zu lassen. Dieser Ratgeber bietet kleine, anwendbare Schritte, die zusammen eine Revolution ergeben – hin zu einem produktiveren und erfüllteren Leben."

"Warum wollen wir wie besessen bestimmte Dinge haben, sind aber gelangweilt, wenn wir sie bekommen? Warum verwandelt sich die Leidenschaft von Verliebten so schnell in Desinteresse? Die Antwort liegt in einem Hormon in unserem Gehirn: Dopamin. Es ist die Quelle unseres Verlangens und lässt uns für einen kurzen Nervenkitzel alles riskieren. Dabei ist es die Aussicht auf etwas Neues, die uns antreibt, nicht die Erfüllung. Dopamin ist der Grund, warum wir forschen und entdecken, aber auch der Ursprung von Verschwendung, Risiko und Sucht. Lieberman und Long entschlüsseln auf völlig neue Weise das menschliche Verhalten, das von Dopamin gesteuert wird, und erklären, warum das Hormon, das uns seit Urzeiten antreibt, das Schicksal der Menschheit bestimmt."
Daniel Z. Lieberman, Michael E. Long (Author), Peter Wolter (Narrator)

"Why are we obsessed with the things we want and bored when we get them? Why is addiction “perfectly logical” to an addict? Why does love change so quickly from passion to disinterest? Why are some people diehard liberals and others hardcore conservatives? Why are we always hopeful for solutions even in the darkest times—and so good at figuring them out? The answer is found in a single chemical in your brain: dopamine. Dopamine ensured the survival of early man. Thousands of years later, it is the source of our most basic behaviors and cultural ideas—and progress itself. Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more—more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Dopamine is the source of our every urge, that little bit of biology that makes an ambitious business professional sacrifice everything in pursuit of success, or that drives a satisfied spouse to risk it all for the thrill of someone new. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it’s why we gamble and squander. From dopamine’s point of view, it’s not the having that matters. It’s getting something—anything—that’s new. From this understanding—the difference between possessing something versus anticipating it—we can understand in a revolutionary new way why we behave as we do in love, business, addiction, politics, religion – and we can even predict those behaviors in ourselves and others. In 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, George Washington University professor and psychiatrist Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD, and Georgetown University lecturer Michael E. Long present a potentially life-changing proposal: Much of human life has an unconsidered component that explains an array of behaviors previously thought to be unrelated, including why winners cheat, why geniuses often suffer with mental illness, why nearly all diets fail, and why the brains of liberals and conservatives really are different."
