1.Action, Reward & Dopamine

1.Action, Reward & Dopamine

I know dopamine has a bad rep here, but it’s not that bad when you understand it.

In simple terms, when you do something or get a stimulus and get something positive from it, your brain produces dopamine. Known as the reward hormone. Your mind links the action/stimulus to the reward and that link makes it so that we want to do that thing over and over again.

That’s pretty much how it works.

You can use the same mechanisms to get addicted to taking action & success!

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
