Description

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 Dopamine, a single chemical in the brain, has been the driving force behind human behavior for thousands of years. It ensures survival, fuels our most basic behaviors, and shapes our cultural ideas. This molecule is the source of our desires, urges, and motivations, making us seek and succeed, yet also gamble and squander. From dopamine's point of view, it's not the having that matters, but the getting of something new. This understanding can revolutionize our understanding of why we behave in love, business, addiction, politics, and religion. By grasping the difference between possessing something and anticipating it, we can predict our own behaviors and those of others. This book explores the role of dopamine in shaping human behavior, providing a new perspective on our motivations and actions.
