And we need joy, enjoyment, fulfillment.

One of my favorite books that I've ever read, and I've read it multiple times because I love it so much, and I've referenced it multiple times.

It's The Molecule of More by Daniel Lieberman and Michael Long.

I referenced The Molecule of More in my book titled Go On More.

And it's all about dopamine and how dopamine controls everything in our life.

And in the book, there's two quotes that I want to share.

The first, I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.

This makes it hard to plan the day.

Dopamine desire...

drives us towards wanting to experience something.

And it's oftentimes more.

While we want to be content, when we are content and relaxing and comfortable, we then want to go achieve and do more.

And when we go and achieve more and we're working and we struggle, we also want to be content.

I think this quote right here describes the way many of us feel on a daily basis.

We want to go out and gain and achieve and do, but simultaneously be content in the process.

And it's achievable, but it's also very challenging at the same time.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.

This makes it hard to plan the day.

And the second quote I want to share, from dopamine's point of view, having things is uninteresting.

It's only getting things that matter.
