Description

Could the pursuit of pleasure be causing us more pain?  Most of us are aware of how Dopamine increases our experience of pleasure but that's only part of the story.  There's a mechanism in our brains that is constantly working to regulate our neurotransmitters, such as Dopamine.  Without a solid awareness of hat regulation process, we can become crucially vulnerable to all sorts of addictive behaviors or getting caught up in the hamster wheel of unconsciousness.

In this episode, I also share some personal struggles and recent transitions, related to this topic, along with some insights from Dr. Anna Lempke's fascinating book, Dopamine Nation.
