Why do achievements often leave us feeling unsatisfied?
Why does FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) persist?
Why do people do things they know will harm them?

DeAnn and Craig Knighton discuss the role of dopamine in substance use disorder, referencing "The Molecule of More" by Lieberman and Long and "Dopamine Nation" by Dr. Anna Lembke. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter linked to pleasure and reward, plays a crucial role in addiction and recovery. The conversation explores dopamine's impact on behavior, motivation, and cravings, and how it influences addiction cycles. They also discuss the concept of homeostasis, the importance of willpower, and the potential for future scientific advancements in dopamine research to aid in addiction treatment. Craig and DeAnn share personal anecdotes about dopamine's influence on behavior and the challenges of maintaining control.
