028: How To Master Dopamine And Find Happiness, Motivation, and Discipline - Dr. Daniel Lieberman

Today, we have Dr. Dan Lieberman on the podcast. Dan is the coauthor of the international bestseller The Molecule of More, senior vice president for mental health at Hims & Hers Health, and clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at George Washington University. He is incredibly knowledgeable and credentialed on many topics, but today we narrowed our sights on the powerful chemical of dopamine.



Dan breaks down what dopamine is and how it can be used for both good and bad, offers practical steps to help control it, and paints a shocking picture of what humanity would look like without dopamine. Dopamine increases motivation, discipline, and true happiness when used for good, which he teaches us how to achieve in this episode. Enjoy!
