Book Summary: Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine by David A. Kessler, M.D.

Why do we crave what's bad for us? In Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine, Dr. David A. Kessler—a former FDA Commissioner—explores the powerful science of addiction, reward, and human behavior. This chapter-by-chapter summary breaks down Kessler's groundbreaking insights into how dopamine drives not only our diets, but also our dependence on substances and self-destructive habits.

From fast food to pharmaceuticals, Kessler reveals how industries have hijacked the brain's reward system—and what we can do to regain control. This summary captures the core ideas and science behind the book in a clear, digestible format for readers who want to quickly absorb the life-changing takeaways.

Whether you're struggling with compulsive habits or simply want to understand how the brain's reward system shapes your choices, this is an essential companion to one of the most important books on health and behavior.
