In this episode, we explain why modern life feels overstimulating, numbing, and exhausting—and how to reset your brain without extreme hacks. You’ll learn how artificial dopamine quietly hijacks motivation, why constant stimulation lowers your baseline happiness, and how cutting just one source can change everything. From porn, nicotine, and doom-scrolling, to social media slot machines and the lost ability to sit alone, the big takeaway is simple: reduce artificial dopamine, and your brain starts working for you again.
