Dopamine is behind everything from our daily habits to our biggest struggles, but do we really understand how it works? Dr. Anastasia Hronis is a clinical psychologist and researcher who breaks down the science behind motivation, addiction, and why we chase short-term highs.

We talk about why dopamine detoxes don’t actually work, how ADHD brains process dopamine differently, and why breaking bad habits is so much harder than we think. Dr. Hronis’ book The Dopamine Brain looks into the science behind all of this and more, and in this episode, we get into what it means for everyday life.

If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t stop scrolling or why forming new habits feels impossible, this episode is for you.
