My grandmother would always tell me not to persue happiness, because it's like an elusive butterfly. If you do for others, or immerse yourself in a meaningful task, that butterfly of happiness will sneak up behind you and silently sit on your shoulder. She was right. 🦋
In response to the section around 31:00 where they are talking about the dopamine crash after reaching a long awaited goal: As a former trial lawyer, I always counseled clients that even if we win the case, within 24-48 later, they will probably feel depressed and miserable. It's not just a dopamine crash, but also an adrenaline crash. I learned early on that the best way to mitigate and eventually ride out those crashes was to get outside and move. Whether it was the gentle exercise of a long walk, or a more intense bike ride or tennis game, the combination of physical movement, Vitamin D from the sun, and perhaps the concentration required for the physical coordination of movement did the trick. So, outdoor exercise was the antidote for me. But I had to talk myself into doing it, because at the time of the crash, I only wanted to sit on the couch, eat something sugary, and cry. Eventually I learned to get outside and move while I was still riding out the high; this evened me out sooner and sometimes prevented the crash altogether.
This is actually my go-to anytime I feel a bit dull. I try to notice as soon as I feel a bit low to avoid a full on sad day. Water, sun, activity…it’s good.
Dr. Lieberman has a great book, it is one of the best books I have ever read. Dopamine lies to us, dopamine is not the end goal. It's just meant to get us there. Its important to shut it off when it needs to be shut off, otherwise you will fail to be able to truly appreciate what you already have.
My teenage daughter and I did no-phone for 8 months. I put her two phones in the trash twice before that, because of how addicted she was. We got a nice break and a month ago we both got very nice phones. The break reminded us that the important people and events in our lives, will find their way to us. And sure enough, a lot of people got left behind and the truly important ones stayed. I was even able to get two jobs during that period. Also, we haven’t watched tv for the past 10 years now. We have a clear intention to live in the present, like monks, which allows us to realize that our failures are not as bad as we make them to be. It has released us from that constant pressure of overachieving. It’s a nice mental and physical detox.
41:59 is something that came to my mind when I had to do something I didn't feel like doing yet was necessary such as going to the gym or even doing the dishes. I would tell myself I was caring for my future self and my future self would appreciate it and just like Lewis, I would always envision my future experiencing contentment from what I was doing for her in that moment. It's a trip to hear someone else explain it too. It makes me want to do the mundane task instead of wishing I was done before ever starting.
These comments and topic definitely resignat. I am 58 yrs old but I oftentimes think about the life-alterating decisions I deliberately made at the age of 16 as well as my early 20s. To this very day, I still thank God I made those choices back then. Now I find myself asking, what choices do I need to make today, that I would be very grateful for in the future.
Doing the dishes is an easy one to get your head around: "I am so happy and grateful that I have dishes to wash, that I have clean running water, a roof over my head - this is so much more than many others have and they would swap lives with me in a heartbeat if they could" 🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Lieberman seems to have exceptional focusing, listening and articulating skills, and his patience is such a gift. My own brain did not fare as well when the Doctor was interrupted repeatedly. Lieberman is for sure on my reading list now. Thank you!
Dr. Lieberman is one of the most fascinating guests you've had. I'm buying this book. So many points to think about. His energy is incredible, as is his knowledge. This was a wonderful interview! Thank you!
One of the most thrilling aspects of the interview with Dr Lieberman is just how humble he also is. Something I have noted along my journey on this planet, is just how humble and grounded the truly genius people are.

This knowledge that y'all are sharing is almost too deep for me, like my brain is frying from information overload. I had to pause it, because, like I said, so much useful information I couldn't take it all in. Probably one of the most interesting interviews I've ever heard. I've been suffering my whole life with bipolar depression, and self medicating myself, into a dopamine war within my head. I'm still surviving at age 52, but now I'm on pharmaceuticals and it's sometimes extremely hard to function and I feel it's getting worse as I get older. But one thing I've learned is helping others, being kind to others, listening and caring about what people say, and taking care of my pets gets me out of myself and i feel okay, but I still get the dopamine crash when it's over. Thank you for sharing this video with us, it's another piece of the puzzle of life that i can utilize as i try to survive this thing called life.
There have been moments in the last 15 years when I thought, Hhm, maybe I do miss something not being - never have been - on social media platforms except for UA-cam. And got frustrated when being directed to Twitter or Instagram by links from friends or in articles etc. But listening to people in podcasts talking about the time stealing, manipulating, addictive and toxic aspects of them I am happy that I can avoid them.
This is my absolute favourite guest that you’ve had on the show. He’s so smart and kind and complementary, and he doesn’t even know it. What a lovely interview to listen to. Thank you to both of you ❤️
Lewis. I have to say I absolutely loved this interview so much. I learned so many things and I've hared this with people who would love to listen to this. I'm going to listen to this again with my husband. You're doing an incredible job. Your journey is incredible. You interview great people. And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️ Thank you Daniel Z Lieberman. Amazing stuff!
I absolutely loved Mr. Lieberman's energy..& Lewis I admire you for the questions you ask. It's clear that nothing is ever scripted & solely off the top of your head & I LOVE that/your mind
I went to a 10 day vipassana meditation course where we meditated for ten hours a day for ten days. No cell phones, no books, no notes, no talking, no interactions with others, and just two small meals a day. Meditation effects aside, the dopamine detox alone made me incredibly sensitive to absolutely everything after the ten days.
At 31 :03 ..he mentions the crash after writing a book ...or an artist finishing a painting ...crash ...and like the end of an amazing interview 😉the end of a captivating book ..end of a movie or even more so an intence Netflix series...the sadness of a confrence or workshop coming to an end ...a weekend with family or friends or ALONE ...right....all dopamine downers...this is when mindfulness and practice of gratitude enters ..for real ..can shift it all ..SHIFT IT ALLLLL
Thank you Dr. Leiberman for emphasizing that mental illness is a chronic disease state requiring medication or other treatments and not caused by or cured by lifestyle.
Thoroughly enjoyed this for a plethora of reasons - the psychology, the medical knowledge and medicine brought to the table, the ability to articulate wisdom, but when he flexed knowledge of particle physics and discussed metaphysics - very m, very impressed. Also respect how humble he appears.
The most humble and genuine guy I’ve seen lately. Thanks ! I hear my 13 year old every single day get excited for a trip we are doing in July as a family. She says: I’m so excited to go to Peru, I can’t wait! Lol.. makes me happy but concerned that she is anticipating TOO much and not enjoying her present life which is pretty good; then I remember as a child being the SAME , holding on to a future event to feel excited and happy because we had no technology to waste time on.. 😂
I’ve had relationship issues for about a decade now. I have anxious attachment which as a man is unbelievably unattractive. The fact that a relationship is the single biggest factor to overcoming depression is extremely depressing since I gave up on finding someone

@@lewishowes great interview Lewis .. I like that you ask questions that comes to the viewer & at the same time you give space to the guest to ask & answer himself.
I always believe to never pursue happiness or look for it but pursue lifestyle that produces happiness. Now, I just have to feel it and experience it as present moment as well. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

I can always count on Lewis to ask the the VERY BEST questions and to immediately take advantage of opportunities to get more clarification on concepts the guest are offering.
Great Interview!! Here are a few things that have stuck with me over the years: 1.) Be your own Best Friend and Number One Fan 2.) Happiness is not getting what you want, but wanting what you have. 3.) You can’t fully enjoy the Fruits of Victory without having suffered the Agony of Defeat. 4.) The Journey is usually more important than the destination. 5.) What can I do today to make Tomorrow even more Wonderful than Today Is? 6.) When you do what NEEDS to be done WHEN it NEEDS to be done, you will be able to do what you WANT to do WHEN you want to do it. 7.) Live for the moments that can’t be put into words. 8.) A Journey of a Thousand Miles begins with ONE Decision and then acting upon it. 9.) There are NO Correct or Incorrect decisions, only Wise or Unwise. 10.) Time is a precious finite resource, use what you have Wisely. When you share your burden with another you halve the load, when you share your joy with another you double the pleasure. All Centurions I have seen interviewed have one thing in common, they ALL mentioned that PEOPLE and their relationships with them are the most important, enduring, and gratifying memories they have of their lives. They did not talk about Material things or achievements, it was communing with others all of their lives. P.S. Of couples successfully married for over 20 years and surveyed, there was only ONE thing they ALL had in common, they said that both spouses found the same things humorous / funny. :~)
Good list Thankyou 🙏 I also agree when it comes to romantic relationships if you share the same sense of humour with your partner that’s the golden ticket , but it can’t be the only thing between people because it’s not enough , I know this from experience
@@noplug7434 Hi, I'm almost 60yo. Numbers 1,5, and 10 are my own, though I'm certain other people discovered those on their own as well. I either was told the other things or read them somewhere. I then put them into practice to see how true they were (I never walked a Thousands miles continuously though. lol ) and held on to the ones that improved my life. :~) P.S. Here are a couple more that I liked, "Some people actually Drink from the fountain on knowledge, unfortunately most just Gargle." "Most people wait their entire life for their ship to come in, the problem with that is that they NEVER sent one out!!"
Lewis, I actually used to do that exercise where I talk to my future self like that too. It's also good for law of attraction. I'm going to start doing it again.
@@lewishowes Thanks again! I really took that advice to heart, and living it out gave all of my relationships a boost immediately. All Interactions, private or professional, (especially the tricky ones!) were effortlessly more productive and more fun. And it left an impression, too. In the same week, I got excellent feedback from an external coach at work who, after monitoring a couple of my inbound customer calls, noticed as most outstanding to him, that he (identifying with the customer while listening in) had felt *heard*, 100% attended to, listened to with genuine interest at any point in any of those encounters. (It's what you should dare to expect in a service call, but who isn't used to getting the opposite, right?) He appreciated this careful listening above all other points of praise and criticism and urged me to keep it up.
Listening is the gateway to the present, to long lasting change and transformation. As soon as my clients learn to really listen, that‘s when their lives start to change for the better. Thank you for this wonderful conversation.
I've been binge watching UA-cam for 2 days straight after really rough week, and I was wondering if the binge-watching was me dopamine feeding. That's why I clicked on this.
38:18 I’ve been depressed most my life because of this habit that I’ve gained unconsciously since I was a kid, this the main thing made me depressed and now I’m trying to get rid of it, great interview and topic, thanks
- Is it a dopamine moment or a here and now moment 1. be deliberate (being present) 28:0040:00 practicing gratitude in present via visualization of future 43:00 Space creates force Reevaluating our perception on activities and meaning 1:07:00 1:14:00 1:25:00 dopamine control circuit
This was so great. Right up my alley, totally on my wavelength. I wrote a meme some years ago about not chasing dopamine but chasing our goals and fulfillment instead... basically about going for the bigger picture, long-term, delayed gratification items, rather than the explosive big right-here right-now instant hits that tend to leave a void the moment they have been consumed. I'm not a psychiatrist, although I would have liked to have eventually become one as the field fascinates me. I'm of the belief that we can heal so much so as to create more desirable outcomes. Self awareness, self reflection, learning the lessons, taking responsibility, healing unmet needs and childhood wounds can overcome just so much leading to far more fulfilling lives.
Narcisstic personality disorder has become so prevalent that I started a narcissistic abuse support group in our community over here to help survivors. Going through a relationship with a pwNPD was literally the most painful yet BEST experience of my life. It was absolutely the catalyst to finally deal with my own b.s. and become a better me. They may not be able to change but we can. Turn lead into gold. 🤙💜 Great, great episode Louis and team. 💜
Received this of a friend and Dr Liebermann is not only extremely knowledgable yet, what makes this outstanding, is his authenticity and honesty. Now ,I donnot know the interviewer but he triggered irritation in his trying to be superior and constant "me" aspect.....now this is my feeling or issue. Greatful for Dr Liebermann👏
such a good message and I'm only 20 mins in. I'm trying to push through alcoholism and breakthrough in my career. Been struggling to do this for the past year. But I'm trying. This video is great for me
One of the absolute greatest conversations you’ve done. I feel like I actually have uncovered an understanding to a lot of my issues with mood changes, anxiety and depression. This is brilliant >> my dopamine just kicked in.
So impressed that Dr. Lieberman shifted the conversation to optimism toward some narcissist. BRAVO. So tired of hearing people using the trend word. We're all wounded.
That's such a great advice for doing more with the hands to arrive in the here and now. While studying social sciences, I found out that all the reading and writing and discussions were nice but highly unsatisfying, but I felt like working with my hands (building furniture etc) was helping me to balance something out in myself. Same thing with my PhD. I like and love science and probably am addicted to reading and the sheer possibility of all the knowledge out there I still don't know about, but I am definitely profiting from balancing this side out with something "real" in the here and now. And I know so many people who say "that's boring" and I am like exactly, I have to deal with boring as well.
I believe I have got a better education from watching your show I have met so many interesting people you truly are the best person to interview anyone everybody just feels so comfortable with you that everything flows I am very proud of you I have been watching you forever and this is the first time I put a comment I really don’t like to comment because I talk a lot I have a lot to share and ideas and I tend to write a letter instead of a comment so thank you so much I love listening to both of you I think dopamine can be a good thing I sure wouldn’t want to be without it but I haven’t watched all of year video yet see what I mean about me talking OK love you
Thank you so much, and I am so happy you are enjoying the content. I would love for you to subscribe and leave me a review here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id596047499
Very insightful interview. Lewis is an incredible host. Without much pretence, he is adding so much valuable insights himself ( through self reflection and personal examples )
Thank you I needed this I have ADHD and Autism and this connected with me on a deep level. I'm struggling to declutter my hoarding, I get stuck in my head and watching videos trying to work out how instead of just doing it.
BOOST YOUR DOPAMIN WITH WORKING OUT AND HARD WORK.BE PROUD OF YOURSELF . I've shut down my phone ,no wifi no nothing for more than 4 month during corvid. most great feeling.
phone devices providing instant dopamine through 5 second clips and the next 'spike' is keeping people in low end jobs stuck, because the reality of their situation isn't being experienced, they are escaping it through the kick out of their device.
No literally people can do anything without leaving the house, ordering groceries, furniture, cars etc…We’re at the point where you can do things from becoming a millionaire to starting a business just by having a smartphone…
Unbelievably valuable. I have spent my cardio time at the gym just listening to this enlightening podcast. What do you feel after watching? Like you found ANSWERS and UNDERSTANDING of the self. Thank YOU! And gonna get all the books of this absolutely brilliant man
Wow, this was one of, if not the most powerful, insightful, interesting, and informative videos I’ve ever seen and I love that it goes deep into the topic while also connecting with other topics that I’ve either knew little about or never known/thought about before.
It was time for me to hand over my armory to my replacements, and I had gotten them 100% on their inspection, which is all I wanted, and because the prep was almost 2 years in the making, including weekends sometimes, when I finished, even though I already had other things set before me, I was like, "This feels so strange. I have nothing to be anxious about."
I've always enjoyed your program Lewis. This one is far the most powerful, brilliant and helpful interview/conversation I've listened to! You just have that special gift to genuinely engage with your guest and know exactly what to ask next to follow through the topic. Thank you so much.❤😊
I am grateful for programs like that, you can learn a lot about yourself and about being alive 🙃 I’ve never had a great childhood and I get literally what you guys meant talking how you see yourself ☺️
So so loved this interview and relate to both their life experiences. Thank you so much. Us folk who suffered rise to incredible heights of serving a better world. There is no greater honor or happiness.
Wow! You two really slapped me in the face to wake me up to what my problem is. I'm an Entrepreneur and have had an incredible amount of ideas that were fantastic, if I must say so myself (😉). But, many friends, business associates, and investors think my ideas are great also,, but ask me why I can never bring anything to market, never finish anything. They say I've got to learn to "get out of my hear" or I have a self fulfilling prophecy of failure or sabotage. But,, I just realized that none of that is true.. The truth is that I get so caught up with the overdose of dopamine that I give myself by pitching everyone about my "new" idea and then listening to their positive reactions that I get stuck at that point. It feels so good to tell new people and then get their pat on my back. But, you made me realize that now I need to keep my mouth shut and get my hands dirty. Ecclesiasties says something like, "When you tell others of a project that you are about to start then only you are excited. When you tell others about a project that you have finished then everyone is excited." Thank you gentlemen!
My grandmother would always tell me not to persue happiness, because it's like an elusive butterfly. If you do for others, or immerse yourself in a meaningful task, that butterfly of happiness will sneak up behind you and silently sit on your shoulder. She was right. 🦋
That is beautifully said!!!✨🙏
What a great message, so true!

Dr. Lieberman has a great book, it is one of the best books I have ever read. Dopamine lies to us, dopamine is not the end goal. It's just meant to get us there. Its important to shut it off when it needs to be shut off, otherwise you will fail to be able to truly appreciate what you already have.

When you share your burden with another you halve the load, when you share your joy with another you double the pleasure. All Centurions I have seen interviewed have one thing in common, they ALL mentioned that PEOPLE and their relationships with them are the most important, enduring, and gratifying memories they have of their lives. They did not talk about Material things or achievements, it was communing with others all of their lives.
P.S. Of couples successfully married for over 20 years and surveyed, there was only ONE thing they ALL had in common, they said that both spouses found the same things humorous / funny. :~)
Good list Thankyou 🙏 I also agree when it comes to romantic relationships if you share the same sense of humour with your partner that’s the golden ticket , but it can’t be the only thing between people because it’s not enough , I know this from experience
🙌
This really resonated with me. May I ask how old you are? Did you learn from experience or reading
@@noplug7434 Hi, I'm almost 60yo. Numbers 1,5, and 10 are my own, though I'm certain other people discovered those on their own as well. I either was told the other things or read them somewhere. I then put them into practice to see how true they were (I never walked a Thousands miles continuously though. lol ) and held on to the ones that improved my life. :~) P.S. Here are a couple more that I liked, "Some people actually Drink from the fountain on knowledge, unfortunately most just Gargle." "Most people wait their entire life for their ship to come in, the problem with that is that they NEVER sent one out!!"
@@codybanks9944 awesome man thanks 🙏
Lewis, I actually used to do that exercise where I talk to my future self like that too. It's also good for law of attraction. I'm going to start doing it again.
🙌
Thank you for sharing at 14:00 "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care" - Folks, let that sink in again.
You're welcome,thank you for being here 🧡
@@lewishowes Thanks again! I really took that advice to heart, and living it out gave all of my relationships a boost immediately. All Interactions, private or professional, (especially the tricky ones!) were effortlessly more productive and more fun. And it left an impression, too. In the same week, I got excellent feedback from an external coach at work who, after monitoring a couple of my inbound customer calls, noticed as most outstanding to him, that he (identifying with the customer while listening in) had felt *heard*, 100% attended to, listened to with genuine interest at any point in any of those encounters. (It's what you should dare to expect in a service call, but who isn't used to getting the opposite, right?) He appreciated this careful listening above all other points of praise and criticism and urged me to keep it up.
Listening is the gateway to the present, to long lasting change and transformation. As soon as my clients learn to really listen, that‘s when their lives start to change for the better.
Thank you for this wonderful conversation.
Agreed! 🧡
I've focused on that episode. Took 9 pages of hand-written notes. What an amount of the information packed within one vid. Congrats!
🧡
Im very grateful for finding this channel. It takes me out of binge watching to learn something new or reinforce an idea to adopt it. Thanks for all
I've been binge watching UA-cam for 2 days straight after really rough week, and I was wondering if the binge-watching was me dopamine feeding. That's why I clicked on this.
Thank you for this interview with Daniel Lieberman. I can't wait for his UA-cam videos.
1:31:50 key to happiness
Yep, can't wait for his UA-cam channel, I think it was called 'ask the psychiatrist'
38:18 I’ve been depressed most my life because of this habit that I’ve gained unconsciously since I was a kid, this the main thing made me depressed and now I’m trying to get rid of it, great interview and topic, thanks
I'm 51 y/o & I too am learning math again. Bravo to all the learners out there.

Thanks!

Great conversation! I love how honest the doctor is about science vs metaphysics.
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of Lewis' best interviews ever. Two wise beautiful people. Thank you so much. 🙏💖😇

Don't worry about the future it'll take care of itself,Live in the here and now.Exactly!
👍
Dr. Daniel Lieberman is so open-minded and sincere person!
👍
This was so great. Right up my alley, totally on my wavelength. I wrote a meme some years ago about not chasing dopamine but chasing our goals and fulfillment instead... basically about going for the bigger picture, long-term, delayed gratification items, rather than the explosive big right-here right-now instant hits that tend to leave a void the moment they have been consumed.
I'm not a psychiatrist, although I would have liked to have eventually become one as the field fascinates me. I'm of the belief that we can heal so much so as to create more desirable outcomes. Self awareness, self reflection, learning the lessons, taking responsibility, healing unmet needs and childhood wounds can overcome just so much leading to far more fulfilling lives.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Narcisstic personality disorder has become so prevalent that I started a narcissistic abuse support group in our community over here to help survivors. Going through a relationship with a pwNPD was literally the most painful yet BEST experience of my life. It was absolutely the catalyst to finally deal with my own b.s. and become a better me. They may not be able to change but we can. Turn lead into gold. 🤙💜 Great, great episode Louis and team. 💜
Received this of a friend and Dr Liebermann is not only extremely knowledgable yet, what makes this outstanding, is his authenticity and honesty. Now ,I donnot know the interviewer but he triggered irritation in his trying to be superior and constant "me" aspect.....now this is my feeling or issue.
Greatful for Dr Liebermann👏
🙌
Best interviewer EVER! Interacts so naturally and I learn from him as well. 🙂
such a good message and I'm only 20 mins in. I'm trying to push through alcoholism and breakthrough in my career. Been struggling to do this for the past year. But I'm trying. This video is great for me
Nice, are you inspired to take any particular actions given these dopamine theories?
Glad you enjoyed it!
Keep trying! Don't ever give up!
👍
Have a look at Naltrexone for your alcohol excess.

One of the absolute greatest conversations you’ve done. I feel like I actually have uncovered an understanding to a lot of my issues with mood changes, anxiety and depression.
This is brilliant >> my dopamine just kicked in.
Happy to hear this :)
Perfect timing. Exactly what I needed,
thank you
You're welcome🧡
Great topic, very interesting. Appreciate he is an MD, not just an influencer.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So impressed that Dr. Lieberman shifted the conversation to optimism toward some narcissist. BRAVO. So tired of hearing people using the trend word. We're all wounded.
👍
soooo important questions, open hearts, curious, attentive minds... I just LOVE it!
🧡
This channel is such a blessing . Each guest is a priceless jewel.
So glad you enjoy the channel! Thanks for being here!
That's such a great advice for doing more with the hands to arrive in the here and now.
While studying social sciences, I found out that all the reading and writing and discussions were nice but highly unsatisfying, but I felt like working with my hands (building furniture etc) was helping me to balance something out in myself. Same thing with my PhD. I like and love science and probably am addicted to reading and the sheer possibility of all the knowledge out there I still don't know about, but I am definitely profiting from balancing this side out with something "real" in the here and now.
And I know so many people who say "that's boring" and I am like exactly, I have to deal with boring as well.
👍
This I think is one of my favourite podcasts ever. Bought the book too, fantastic so far
Thank you!
I believe I have got a better education from watching your show I have met so many interesting people you truly are the best person to interview anyone everybody just feels so comfortable with you that everything flows I am very proud of you I have been watching you forever and this is the first time I put a comment I really don’t like to comment because I talk a lot I have a lot to share and ideas and I tend to write a letter instead of a comment so thank you so much I love listening to both of you I think dopamine can be a good thing I sure wouldn’t want to be without it but I haven’t watched all of year video yet see what I mean about me talking OK love you

Very insightful interview. Lewis is an incredible host. Without much pretence, he is adding so much valuable insights himself ( through self reflection and personal examples )
Thank you! Appreciate you and your support.
Thank you I needed this I have ADHD and Autism and this connected with me on a deep level. I'm struggling to declutter my hoarding, I get stuck in my head and watching videos trying to work out how instead of just doing it.
So happy to hear we have supported you!
BOOST YOUR DOPAMIN WITH WORKING OUT AND HARD WORK.BE PROUD OF YOURSELF .
I've shut down my phone ,no wifi no nothing for more than 4 month during corvid. most great feeling.
Absolutely!
Another Gem. Fascinating. Building on Alexander, Petersen, Mate, Dr Caroline Leaf (Christian) etc. Positive Progress. Thank Yous ALL.
So real. Let yourself feel and understand those feelings are just a part of life. I really try to do that.
👍
I was just enjoying this video and all of a sudden I knew what I most wanted. 9:21 I had several.
Really really wonderful talk. Thank You Lewis and Daniel.
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Thank You.
An excellent interview for Earth Day.
instant gratification is one of the worst things humans are going against right now. trying to talk about this sort of thing on my channel.
Agreed
phone devices providing instant dopamine through 5 second clips and the next 'spike' is keeping people in low end jobs stuck, because the reality of their situation isn't being experienced, they are escaping it through the kick out of their device.
No literally people can do anything without leaving the house, ordering groceries, furniture, cars etc…We’re at the point where you can do things from becoming a millionaire to starting a business just by having a smartphone…
dr daniel it's like dopamine itself talking he's passion about what his saying all time
Definitely one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to.
Happy to hear this :)
Unbelievably valuable. I have spent my cardio time at the gym just listening to this enlightening podcast. What do you feel after watching? Like you found ANSWERS and UNDERSTANDING of the self. Thank YOU! And gonna get all the books of this absolutely brilliant man
Glad this was helpful for you🧡
Wow, this was one of, if not the most powerful, insightful, interesting, and informative videos I’ve ever seen and I love that it goes deep into the topic while also connecting with other topics that I’ve either knew little about or never known/thought about before.

It was time for me to hand over my armory to my replacements, and I had gotten them 100% on their inspection, which is all I wanted, and because the prep was almost 2 years in the making, including weekends sometimes, when I finished, even though I already had other things set before me, I was like, "This feels so strange. I have nothing to be anxious about."
What armory and replacements?
@@lauraashley1 sounds like a question the Russians and CCP would ask.😆
I am so grateful I came across this today. What insightful interview. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Wow! You two really slapped me in the face to wake me up to what my problem is. I'm an Entrepreneur and have had an incredible amount of ideas that were fantastic, if I must say so myself (😉). But, many friends, business associates, and investors think my ideas are great also,, but ask me why I can never bring anything to market, never finish anything. They say I've got to learn to "get out of my hear" or I have a self fulfilling prophecy of failure or sabotage.
But,, I just realized that none of that is true.. The truth is that I get so caught up with the overdose of dopamine that I give myself by pitching everyone about my "new" idea and then listening to their positive reactions that I get stuck at that point. It feels so good to tell new people and then get their pat on my back.
But, you made me realize that now I need to keep my mouth shut and get my hands dirty.
Ecclesiasties says something like, "When you tell others of a project that you are about to start then only you are excited. When you tell others about a project that you have finished then everyone is excited."
Thank you gentlemen!
You're welcome🧡
