A Goodreads user asked this question about Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence:
Reading this book at the moment. Did anyone else find the first few chapters off-putting, where she tried not to laugh when a man mispronounced "penis" (I mean, he obviously speaks two languages so he's doing better than most of us), and felt "disgusted" by the masturbation machine he made? I did not know people in her line of work were so judgemental. Hoping it improves as I was really impressed by Anna on podcasts.

That's the only problem I have with this book. Author's own personal prejudice and close mindedness that seems pretty obvious, and not only between the lines. I had small problem with kneel down and pray psychological intervention of the same client as well. It's something I expect to hear from priest, so it's especially glaring coming from therapist. I'm really surprised she didn't try to work with him on accepting himself and finding some moderation with his little "hobby" that he and possibly even his partner would be ok with.(less)
