Episode Synopsis

Is dopamine really the "pleasure molecule"? Or have we been getting it all wrong? In this episode, we dive into the neuroscience behind craving, motivation, and addiction—and reveal why your brain is wired not for the reward itself, but for the pursuit of it. From social media scrolls to big life goals, we explore how dopamine shapes our habits, our happiness, and our sense of purpose.
