Taming the Molecule of More gives us an insight into how we can make dopamine work for us in our daily lives. I was enjoying this book for the first couple chapters as it was teaching things that made sense. There were a few moments in Part II that led me to look up the author, After learning that the main author has no background in psychiatry or neuroscience, and only consulted a psychiatrist for parts of the book, I lost trust in the credibility of the content of the book. Even though everything was cited appropriately, it still felt like content from social media that gives off the vibes "Top 10 tips to improve your dopamine levels". I'm sure this book has a better audience that isn't me and it seems perfectly suited for them. But I struggle without explicit scientific proof in nonfiction books.

TLDR; I am not the target audience but it seemed a decent book for the target. 3/5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
