Dopamine really is the neurotransmitter, the brain chemical of what's novel and what's new, because things that are familiar are essentially things that you have from your brain's point of view if you're walking down the street and you're seeing all the old, familiar stores and shops and buildings.
Ever wondered what makes us constantly chase new experiences? Dr. Josh King sits down with Dr. Daniel Lieberman, the brain behind 'The Molecule of More', to unravel the mysteries of dopamine. This episode of The Beyond Addiction Show dives deep into how this powerful neurotransmitter influences our behaviors, from substance use to falling in love. Dr.
Lieberman breaks down the science in a way that's both engaging and enlightening, shedding light on why we crave novelty and how this can lead to addiction. He also introduces the concept of companionate love, a form of deep connection driven by oxytocin rather than dopamine. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand the intricate dance of brain chemistry and its impact on our lives.
Whether you're battling addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about how your brain works, you'll find valuable insights and practical knowledge here.
