In this rerun of the Changing Minds Podcast, we explore the remarkable power of dopamine—the brain’s motivation molecule. Far more than just a “feel-good” chemical, dopamine shapes our habits, fuels our ambitions, and even influences how we see ourselves and the world.

You’ll also learn practical strategies to boost, balance, and make the most of your dopamine levels—so you can sharpen your focus, strengthen your motivation, and create lasting change.
