Dopamine Detox

Working from home has blurred the lines that once separated the office from private life, and many people find it harder to stay focused and motivated. Constant access to social media and online contact keeps the mind busy and pulls it away from the absorbed, energized state where good work happens. The result is often scattered attention, drifting away from goals, and a creeping loss of enthusiasm for daily tasks. This short e-book explains how mental health depends on a balance of brain chemicals such as dopamine. It introduces a popular Silicon Valley idea, the dopamine detox, which proposes resetting habits toward healthier routines. The tips and strategies it shares are meant to help readers build a more productive work life and rediscover their drive and creativity.
