The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your… por Daniel Z. Lieberman
With brilliant insights such as "The important thing to remember is that liberals want to help people become better, conservatives want to let people be happy, and politicians want power," all of which is apparently determined by their respective levels of dopamine, this book gets three stars for neuroscience and one star for political science.
An interesting book outside the echo chamber - thought provoking
A rather interesting book all about dopamine, and how it controls us and shapes our world.
Me thinks everyone should read all the books they can about neurotransmitters, this being a fairly good one.
The annoying thing to me is that while there's quite a lot of discussion on how our genetics affect out dopamine levels and responses, there is a complete lack of discussion on epigenetics, as though they have no influence whatsoever. There's also a complete lack on how diet and lifestyle affects dopamine and other neurotransmitters. So while this is a fairly good look at dopamine in general, i wouldn't take it all at face value because there's simply too much left out, IMHO.
But lots of people just want to blame the genes they were given and take the "It's not my fault" path, so maybe this book is written for them.
