The Neuroscience Of Dopamine Detox

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." - Blaise Pascal.
Do you feel compelled to do things you don’t enjoy?

Does your mind feel like a battleground, where good decisions lose to impulsive urges?

Did fun activities stop being as enjoyable as they used to be?


Then your brain might have been tricked into releasing too much dopamine.

Dopamine is the molecule of desire and drive. Without it, we can’t achieve anything.

But our modern society has hijacked it!

Every day, companies wanting to sell their products or media wanting our attention are bombarding us with notifications and distractions, manipulating our brain chemistry for their benefit.

Smartphones, YouTube, social media, video games … Our brains don’t stand a chance.

Dr. Andrew Huberman says it best: "The problem is not pleasure; the problem is pleasure experienced without the prior requirement of pursuit"!

What is the solution then? Some suggest going on a dopamine detox until your dopamine levels drop.

Does it work?

Yes … kind of … it’s complex…


Dopamine Detox is riddled with misconceptions and lacks solid neuroscientific support.

Many so-called experts exploit this trend for easy views and clicks, with little regard for the complexities of the human brain.

Here’s the truth:

Dopamine “detox” has nothing to do with dopamine levels and everything to do with dopamine receptors.

When overwhelmed by dopamine, our receptors downregulate, making us less sensitive to dopamine released during meaningful activities.


That’s why you don’t really feel the dopamine released during challenging activities, even though it’s still there.

Instead, you feel a general lack of motivation and even activities you used to enjoy doing don’t seem as pleasurable anymore.

That’s why instead of a Dopamine “Detox,” you should go for a Dopamine Receptor “Reset.”

However, if you want to act on your dopamine receptors, 1 or 2 days a week or a month are not going to cut it …

You must do it for at least two weeks!

But let's face it: abandoning modern society and its technology for this long is impossible for most of us.

We rely on it for work, education, and everyday life, and distractions are omnipresent.

And if you try to willpower your way through it, you're doomed to fail and compulsively relapse.


So should we lose hope?
Or is it possible to reset our dopamine receptors without having to leave society behind?

Well, that’s why I wrote this book.
