And one of the big parts of oxytocin is feeling love for what you do have in your life, like a deep feeling of gratitude.

Everyone's aware of gratitude is important.

We really lack to we lack as a species a consistent approach to how we engage with gratitude, I think, for many of us.

But oxytocin is this nice feeling.

Oh, yeah, I love my life a lot.

I've got what I need.

I've got safety.

I've got comfort.

I've got people and so on.

Dopamine is I need more.

I need more.

I need more.

And I think a lot of us spend more time in our brain in the I need more than I love what I have.

That would be a perfect example.

And cohesion within a group and contribution to a group outside of yourself just for the sake of contributing to that group is magic for oxytocin.

Then in the pursuit of a goal, it's going to be the additional rewarding sensation of dopamine rising as well.

And interestingly, I played on the weekend

on Sunday, I played a sport called rounders.

I don't know in the US if you know rounders, but it's basically like a mini version of baseball.

Effectively, if you think about the difference between England and the US in terms of country size and population, it's like that, but for rounders and baseball.
