2. Narayana Die Dopamin-Nation
What the Search for a Constant High Does to Our Hormones
This book is about pleasure and pain. It explores the fine line of balance between these two states and why it is more important than ever to find this equilibrium today. We live in an era of unprecedented dopamine-stimulating sensory overload: whether through drugs, food, social media, gambling, shopping, sex, or the constant reach for our smartphones, which have become the digital syringe of our time. The variety of addictions is overwhelming.
The author conveys complex neuroscience in easily understandable metaphors and explains that true satisfaction and connection can only be achieved when we maintain control over our dopamine. The experiences of her patients serve as the compelling fabric of her narrative. Their stories of suffering and paths to redemption inspire us to take charge of our own consumption. This book reveals that the secret to balance lies in connecting desire and healing.

6. Narayana Im Reich der hungrigen Geister
To heal the addicted, one must return to the beginning.
Dr. Gabor Maté is one of the most recognized experts in addiction psychology worldwide. His groundbreaking insights, gained through decades of work as a physician in Vancouver's drug scene, are changing our perspective on human development, trauma, and uprooting.
In his international bestseller "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts," he approaches addiction—whether to alcohol, heroin, sex, tobacco, or gambling—with a holistic and compassionate view. He challenges common assumptions that addictive behavior is a phenomenon of weak-willed individuals or a genetic predisposition. On the contrary, it permeates our entire society and can only be understood as a complex interplay of personal history, emotional development, and neurochemical processes.
In his captivating style, Maté weaves the latest findings from neuroscience and extensive social studies with authentic patient stories and societal debates. He takes clear positions, for example, on the legalization of drugs and the decriminalization of addicts.
With Maté, we learn that the first step toward healing lies in empathetic self-awareness. His hungry ghosts will forever change our view of ourselves, our fellow humans, and the world.
“A moving, controversial, and multifaceted look at the backgrounds of addictive behavior. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts reads not only as a vivid analysis of the physical and psychological causes of drug addiction but also leads directly into the heart of the author himself.” - The Globe and Mail.
