1 - Another Way to Look the Dopamine

Dopamine is not only a “happy” hormon. But the way we see it, to be able to visualize it clearly, look at it like:

  1. Imagine an x-axis where on top left is 0 and top right are 10.
  2. Where 0 is our current moment. The very now at our current stage.
  3. And 10 is our “reward” moment. A moment where the dopamin get released.

If 0 is our current moment and 10 is the reward moment. What is the 1-9 and what happen in between 0 and 10?

The In Between

This is where our nervous system become active. It give us the anxiety, restless, and numb. The higher the “want”, the more those feeling would be.

The Conclusion (Quick version)

Domapine is not only a happy hormon, it is actually the length of the reward from our current position.
