Taming the Molecule of More

Dopamine, “the molecule of more,” is the chemical in our brains that drives us to seek out newer and better things—the latest gadget, the coolest job, the perfect partner.

But for many of us, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of never being truly satisfied. Because dopamine can only promise happiness. It 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 a practical solution to the problem. This thoroughly researched and encouraging guide is based on the latest neuroscience. It can teach you to overcome the most troubling aspect of our biological programming.

You’ll learn to tame your brain to:


Stop being held captive to the lure of social media
Reject an unhealthy obsession with work
Avoid the pitfalls that plague the dating life—and refresh interest in the romance you already have
Stop compulsive shopping, online and otherwise
Step back from social media—and break the cycle of doomscrolling
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.
