Synopsis:

Named one of The Next Big Idea Club’s “Best Non-Fiction Books of the Year” (2025)

Dopamine, “the molecule of more,” makes it easy to get stuck in a cycle of never being truly satisfied. It promises happiness, but can never deliver. That part is up to us. A more fulfilling life begins with training your brain to overcome the dopamine chase—and it’s easier than you think.

From Michael E. Long, coauthor of the life-changing book The Molecule of More, comes this guide with practical solutions to the problem. Based on the latest neuroscience, it will teach you to overcome the most troubling aspect of our biological programming. You’ll learn to:

  • Stop being held captive to the lure of social media and gaming
  • Use multitasking in ways that increase your productivity—not hamper it
  • Avoid the pitfalls that plague dating life—or refresh interest in the romance you already have
  • Stop compulsive shopping, online and otherwise
  • Break the cycle of doomscrolling and crush your obsession with the news
  • Grow your creativity and call it up when you need it most

What if we could harness our struggles and our triumphs toward satisfaction for a lifetime? Taming the Molecule of More delivers a method to begin a more fulfilling life—right now.
