In this episode, we uncover the fascinating world of dopamine and its profound impact on our relationships. We explore the intricate workings of the brain's dopamine circuits—the desire circuit and the control circuit—and how they shape our desires, pursuits, and connections with others.
Discover how the thrill of anticipation can lead to addiction (the wrong kind), and explore the most efficient dopamine triggers that can easily ensnare us. From alcohol and drugs to video games and social media, we uncover the surprising culprits behind our cravings.
We also reveal the secrets to maintaining the high in your relationship. Learn how to harness the power of dopamine to keep your partner addicted to you in all the right ways.
