The first half of this book was fantastic! It is so helpful to learn about the pain-pleasure relationship in the brain and the role that plays in addiction. Learning about these patterns brought awareness to my own behaviors and feelings.

I enjoyed learning about the process of resetting your homeostasis and how to explore our own tendencies through the acronym "DOPAMINE." This gave me a lot of thoughts to apply to my own counseling practice.

The ending lost me a bit and wasn't quite as engaging/interesting, but it was overall a very insight-provoking read for me.
