Through the Chemistry of Happiness
META Learning
We feel rewarded by our daily accomplishments: Solving a difficult problem, crossing something off our to-do list or getting intimate with someone. This reward based behavior is intimately connected to the release of hormone called dopamine. But the feel-good flow of dopamine can occasionally lead to serious addiction and emotional instability.
In this step, you will find out how you to develop a sustainable dopamine experience.
META Learning
Through the blood, sweat, and tears, many marathon runners experience euphoria, a feeling of being invincible while running.
So where does euphoria feeling come from?
Long-duration exercise releases endorphins, which have a morphine-like effect on the body. Besides, endorphin not only masks physical pain but also makes us feel good.
After this step, you will consider starting to work out or even decide to make it an integral part of your life.
META Learning
Well, we know that happiness borne of achievement, is the result of dopamine. When such achievements are appreciated by others, another hormone, namely serotonin is activated and we feel as if we’re floating 10 feet off the ground. Admiration escalates our social status, which is why serotonin is also described as the status hormone.
This step will help you identify serotonin traps and explain how we can increase serotonin-based happiness safely.
META Learning
Oxytocin plays a key role in releasing stress and in recovering from depression. It is linked with pain relief and healing. It’s the reason happy people live longer.
After this step, you will learn more about this magnificent molecule and discover ways to enhance more oxytocin based happiness.
META Learning
Why happiness is so difficult?
Because our brains evolved a negativity bias which helped us survive. Certain receptors in the brain evolved to act like emotional Velcro for bad experiences and Teflon for good ones. This step will help you to overcome negativity bias - the unhelpful evolutionary hangover.
