What if the key to feeling happier isn't chasing pleasure—but taking better care of your brain?
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Daniel Amen explains how dopamine, brain health, trauma, habits, and daily choices can shape the way we feel, think, and live. He reveals why things that feel good in the moment aren't always good for you long term, and why constantly chasing pleasure can leave your brain wanting more.
The conversation explores how to “drip dopamine” through simple moments of connection, sunlight, healthy habits, and being more present. Dr. Amen also explains the connection between physical brain health and mental wellbeing, the impact of childhood trauma, and how EMDR therapy can help people process traumatic experiences.
You’ll also learn why accurate thinking may be more powerful than simply “positive thinking,” how your values and goals influence your happiness, and why strengthening your brain could help strengthen your entire life.
