Reading about Dopamine

I recommend this book with a title that’s too long to write here to anyone who enjoys a well written „sciencey” book and wants to understand much more about the choices we make, the feelings we feel, the life we live and so on.

Dopamine controls desire and our excitement for things that did not yet happen (not happiness as it is sometimes believed). So, basically, when you really want a coffee or you’re excited to go to a concert or you just purchased some plane tickets it’s the dopamine working. And dopamine also plays a role in creativity (and madness), but I can’t tell you more about this because I just started the chapter.

And my dopamine levels are on the rise today. After I post this I’m buying books for the 3rd year! DOPAMINEEEEEE!
