Season 1 Episode 149

---

In this episode, we unpack one of the most important mental battles you'll ever face—dopamine vs. serotonin. We dive deep into the science of why your brain craves stimulation, how short-term pleasure is hijacking your attention, and what it takes to reset your reward system for long-term peace.

You’ll discover:

• What dopamine and serotonin actually do in your brain
• Why chasing dopamine hits (social media, sugar, bingeing) makes you feel worse
• How to perform a dopamine detox and reclaim your clarity
• Replacement habits that nourish your serotonin system and build long-term happiness
• Metaphors, thought experiments, and practical solutions for real change

This isn’t about giving up joy—it’s about replacing cheap thrills with deep fulfillment. You’ll walk away with a toolkit to shift your life from noisy urgency to quiet strength.
