The Science of Happiness: Balancing Dopamine and Serotonin

I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you because it’s packed with so many actionable tips to help you cultivate more happiness in your everyday life—and understand what might be getting in the way of it.

I’m joined by nine incredible leading happiness experts. We’re diving deep into the truth about dopamine and serotonin—what they really are, and why dopamine might actually not want you to be happy. We explore why we often feel less satisfied even after getting exactly what we thought we wanted, and how the “when I get this, I’ll be happy” mindset is secretly keeping us stuck. 

In this episode, we get into:

• Dopamine & serotonin on happiness
• How our society prevents happiness
• Having purpose in life
• Happiness within our career
• Happiness with social media & news consumption
• Perfectionism on happiness
• & so much more!
