Summary:
The body's built-in reward system, driven by the chemical dopamine, is a fascinating adaptation: it tells us to do more of the things that give us pleasure. The author explains how unhealthy food and behavioural "hooks" have gotten us ensnared and shows that dopamine rushes in the body work exactly the same way with food as with cocaine.
