Pain, Pleasure, and the Addictive Chase for Dopamine | Dr. Anna Lembke

Pain, Pleasure, and the Addictive Chase for Dopamine | Dr. Anna Lembke

This week’s conversation is with Dr. Anna Lembke, a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic.

A clinician scholar, she has published more than a hundred peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and commentaries.

Anna sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations.

In 2016, she published Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It’s So Hard to Stop, which was highlighted in the New York Times as one of the top five books to read to understand the opioid epidemic.

Anna appeared on the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, an unvarnished look at the impact of social media on our lives.

She's also the author of the recently published, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence, which explores how to moderate compulsive overconsumption in a world where feeling good is the highest good.
