Description
Dopamine Detox by Thibaut Meurisse is a self-help guide about reducing distraction and returning attention to demanding, meaningful work. Meurisse uses dopamine as a simplified way to discuss the pull of immediately rewarding activities, especially digital entertainment and habitual checking. His proposed “detox” is framed as a temporary reduction in stimulation, not a medical cleanse. The book encourages readers to notice urges, identify major distractions, remove easy triggers, choose a limited number of priorities, and begin working without waiting for inspiration. Its practical focus is on changing habits and creating conditions in which sustained concentration becomes easier.
