Radical Surrender : Letting Go in a World Addicted to Control - the new book by the international bestselling author of Dopamine Nation

A radical new approach to tackling anxiety, depression and purposelessness through connection, spirituality and transcendence from international bestselling author of Dopamine Nation, Dr Anna Lembke.

Using her personal story of deep loss and subsequent spiritual awakening as a powerful entry point, Dr. Anna Lembke opens the door to a vitally important aspect of life that has been badly neglected in modern society-the embrace of spirituality, practice of prayer, and connection to a greater purpose and meaning in the universe. Or, as she puts it, "spiritual surrender in a secular world ... and why such surrender may be the missing piece for so many of us denizens of the twenty-first century."

Through relatable stories and cutting-edge brain science and research, Dr. Lembke explains how spiritual surrender and transcending the self leads to better family and work relationships, more happiness and control as a parent, and overall, a feeling of serenity in an increasingly divisive and complex world. This crucial process helped her let go of hyper-control and experience spontaneity and enjoy life again-all things she''s helped patients do, stories she''ll cover in the book, and will guide readers to as well.
