Sample Key Takeaways from Chapter 1
#1
Dopamine is often associated with feelings of pleasure. However, recent studies have shown that it has a much more powerful effect on behavior, enabling humans to create art, pursue success, make new discoveries, express spirituality, and fall in love.
#2
The release of dopamine is a reaction to promising surprises and unexpected events. The reason love fades is because, with time, the possibilities no longer seem endless and everything becomes familiar. What was once unexpected becomes expected and experiencing a dopamine rush becomes less likely.
#3
As humans, we all have certain expectations when it comes to our future. When an event occurs that far exceeds these expectations, we experience a rush known as reward prediction error.
