This episode discusses what it means to be addicted to something, how to maintain motivation without addiction, lying to yourself, and why you should treat your dopamine with respect.

Huge shout out to Andrew Huberman and his Huberman Lab podcast. Go listen to it. He helped me make a lot of progress with my insomnia issues. If you have basic health questions, he’s awesome. Also, massive shout out to Daniel Z. Lieberman and Michael E. Long, authors of the wonderful book, The Molecule of More. If you enjoyed anything about this episode of the podcast, read that book. It’s all about dopamine. It’s fascinating. There is also a discussion of other neurotransmitters and how they can help balance out your hyperactive dopamine so you can appreciate the here and now a bit, as they say.
