Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You are rich. You just forgot to check your wallet.Have you ever picked up your phone to check just one thing and, when you looked up, found the evening was gone?We live inside a giant marketplace. Stalls on every side offer quick, easy pleasure: a cheap dopamine that burns out in seconds and leaves us always wanting more. And the currency we hand over is the most expensive there is - our time, our attention, our presence.In Alms of Dopamine, Johnny Roberto Fernandes de Oliveira lays out the Marketplace Theory: the world is one vast bazaar, almost every vendor sells something that pleases the brain without ever asking anything of it, and the few who sell real tools for living have to shout to be heard. We walk out every day like beggars, hands open, waiting for the next coin of quick pleasure.This is not a productivity book. It will not help you optimise your morning. It is about the thing the marketplace quietly took: the table you used to sit at, with people who love you, before the screens arrived.In this book you will discover- Why social media became a showcase where you compare your backstage to everyone else's stage- How a good intention - working harder now so I can have more time later - turns into a race with no finish line- What cheap dopamine actually costs, and why it steals your ability to enjoy simple things- The difference between products that run out and tools that last- How to protect the table, the bedroom, and the first hour of your day- A practical 30-day guide for walking out of the current and back to the people you love- Thirteen discussion questions for reading alone, with family, or in a small groupWritten from the middle of the marketplace rather than from a stage, and rooted in a single old line - where your treasure is, there will your heart be also - this is a short, honest book for anyone who still believes there is time to come home.Buy tools. Protect your time. Come back to the table.94 pages. Illustrated. Read it slowly.
