Book Review: Dopamine Décor

Since reading this book, I notice color everywhere. I see palettes in my closet, at the store, in nature, in my kitchen. I read palettes in a science fiction novel in the description of a planet; in The Hobbit as he describes Bilbo’s outfit or the dwarves’ cloaks. Colors dance in my head in pairs and triads. I file them away and look for new ones. Creativity has begotten creativity, as my fingers itch to get out my watercolors and just swirl colors together to see how they look. Maybe I should try to paint that planet-scape, I think to myself. I feel so hungry and so satisfied at the same time. So stimulated, excited, and at peace simultaneously. I can quite literally feel my brain working differently, like new neuropathways were formed just by this particular “click”.
