Unlock the mysteries of your mind and emotions during this enthralling exploration of neurohormones during Episode 15 of the Optimal Human Experience Podcast. Ever wonder how simple pleasures like a home-cooked meal or the satisfaction of building something with your own hands can trigger such joy? We dive into the science behind serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins, with a special focus on dopamine's influence on our daily quest for happiness and fulfillment. From discussing the thin line between passion and addiction in gamers to the nostalgia of my grandmother's cooking and my father's craftsmanship, we reveal how dopamine shapes our lives. Additionally, we revisit the technique of anchoring, demonstrating how we can steer our emotions towards more rewarding states, all in the pursuit of the Optimal Human Experience™.
