The Molecule of More by Daniel Z. Lieberman is all about Dopamine, the chemical of desire that always asks for more—more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises.  For a full written book summary check out - https://wisewords.blog/book-summaries/molecule-of-more-book-summary/

In the pursuit of more, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Dopamine is the source of our urges, the biology that makes an ambitious business professional sacrifice everything in pursuit of success, or that drives a satisfied spouse to risk it all for the thrill of someone new. 

Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it’s why we gamble and squander.

If you're interested in the role dopamine plays in your life then you'll enjoy this podcast.
