The spirit of the CHASE. Shakespeare, Dopamine, and the secret of DESIRE
Description
Why do we feel so alive when we’re chasing something, yet so flat once we finally obtain it?
Drawing on a line from Shakespeare’s play, The Merchant of Venice and the findings of modern neuroscience, we’ll explore the psychology of pursuit, the paradox of desire, and the art of finding joy in the process rather than the prize.
