In this podcast, we will challenge the common belief that happiness is the ultimate goal in life. We will explore the idea that fulfillment and purpose go beyond the pursuit of happiness, and delve into the science of dopamine and how it plays a role in finding fulfillment. Rene shares personal stories and insights on how he has found fulfillment and purpose in life. Join us as we explore the true meaning and purpose of life.
