Your phone hasn't broken your brain - it's just been feeding it the wrong menu.
The Eastern Dopamine Reset blends modern neuroscience with two thousand years of Chinese and Japanese wellness wisdom to explain why everyday life has started to feel flat, and what to actually do about it. You'll learn why popular "dopamine detox" trends get the science wrong, how Traditional Chinese Medicine describes digital-age exhaustion as scattered Shen and depleted Qi, and how a 28-day program - built around your body's own organ clock - can restore your sensitivity to ordinary pleasure without demanding you abandon your phone, your career, or your online life.
Inside, you'll build your own dopamine menu, redesign your environment using monastery and teahouse principles, and learn rituals drawn from Japanese and Chinese tradition - mindful tea, forest bathing, ofuro-style bathing, slow eating, and calligraphic focus training - each mapped to the time of day your body is naturally built to use it.
Written for creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone exhausted by their own feed, this book includes dedicated chapters for sensitive nervous systems (ADHD, anxiety, low mood) and for people whose livelihood requires staying online. It closes not with a rulebook, but with a philosophy - Yang Sheng, "nourishing life" - for keeping the reset alive for good.
You don't need to renounce modern life. You need to learn where your attention actually wants to live.
