  • Summary

  • If dopamine isn't pleasure (like we all think it is)...

    Then what is pleasure?

    Following our full episode, the Neuroscience of Pleasure, this mini episode dives more into dopamine's role while also highlighting a key neurotransmitter that doesn't get enough attention and might be the key to truly enjoying life's pleasures.

    Lastly, we look at some common pleasures - sex, food, etc. - and discuss how to enjoy them to the fullest.
