Dopamine was originally thought of as critical in the "pleasure" system of the brain.

Research began to show that dopamine is also critical in causing seeking behavior.

Dopamine causes you to want, to desire, to seek out, and search. It is released when your brain is expecting a reward.

So essentially, it is the 'desire' transmitter - responsible for creating the DESIRE before the reward.

In today's episode we look at how to turn this around in your favour, and why living a life with conscious intention and thinking on purpose is so important in the pursuit of your goals.
