One of the most interesting thoughts I read this week. Andrew Huberman shared his thoughts on dopamine, and the how this very remarkable molecule is the one basic currency of motivation, drive, and reward seeking behaviour.
Dopamine can sustain effort and make us feel like the life is worth living and striving for goals is worthwhile. That said, Andrew adds that what is most important is that the amount of dopamine we experience scales with the amount of effort required to obtain the dopamine release.
