NOTE

The Role of Dopamine and Punishment Signal

The insight from this snip is that considering the pleasure experienced after an event or activity can help avoid addictive behaviors and the subsequent crash. It also explains why people enter new relationships and make impulsive purchases, as there is an initial dopamine surge. However, if individuals constantly focus on how great things were and struggle with challenges, it can lead to a darker picture. The insight suggests that managing the dopamine release and spreading it out over time can lead to more fulfilling long-term relationships. Dopamine is associated with seeking things beyond one's immediate experience, while serotonin and oxytocin are feel-good molecules associated with things already possessed.
