　　精彩书评

　　“一念成佛，一念成魔”。过去一个世纪脑科学最重要发现之一，就是发现了大脑处理快乐和痛苦的脑区和机制竟然殊途同归，而每个人则一直试图让其保持平衡。须知，低级的欲望只要放纵就能实现，高级的欲望需要自控才能达成。而所谓自控，就是用无私的人性去对抗自私的基因。——尹烨，华大集团CEO，科普作家

　　《成瘾》指出了碎片化的快乐带来的“多巴胺陷阱”。越是在一个快乐唾手可得的环境，我们越是需要不断自省。要获得健康、稳定、富足的生活，我们必须接受不一样的挑战。

Content introduction

We live in a world of great abundance, filled with addictive substances that stimulate dopamine. We lose ourselves more and more, feel no happiness, spiritual emptiness, and even depression pain. With that in mind, Dr. Lembke explores the latest discoveries in addiction science that explain why our relentless pursuit of pleasure so often ends in misery...

Using the cases of patients who have suffered from addiction, Dr. Lembke integrates these vivid stories into the book and analyzes the brain's reward mechanism from a neuroscience perspective, hoping that we can benefit from the experiences and lessons of these patients. She tells us how to balance pleasure and pain, and suggests effective solutions such as self-restraint strategies.

Dr. Lembke has spent the past 25 years treating patients addicted to everything from heroin, gambling and sex to video games, Botox and ice baths.

Wonderful book review

"One becomes a Buddha and the other becomes a demon." One of the most important discoveries in brain science over the past century has been the discovery that the regions and mechanisms of the brain that process pleasure and pain are very different, and everyone has been trying to keep them in balance. It should be noted that the lower desires can be realized only by indulgence, and the higher desires need to be achieved by self-control. And the so-called self-control is to use selfless humanity against selfish genes. -- Yin Ye, CEO of Huada Group, popular science writer

Addiction points to the "dopamine trap" of fragmented pleasure. The more we live in an environment where happiness is readily available, the more we need to be constantly introspective. To live a healthy, stable, and prosperous life, we must take on different challenges.
