And we just need to become comfortable with that experience so this chemical can restore itself effectively. And again, physical separation is important. If you're with other people, like you've got a partner or kids or anyone, it's unbelievably important that they also participate in the phone fast.

And there's this really interesting area of neuroscience about anticipatory dopamine, which is basically the concept that your dopamine will rise simply at the thought of accessing dopamine, not just when you engage with it.

Yeah. I get the big anticipation. I know, when's my hit coming? And like, if you're, like, you know, you're sitting at a restaurant with your wife and you're eating some food and then they take out their phones, check it quickly, and before you've even thought, yours is boom, straight in the hand.

And effectively, your brain has seen their dopamine rise, experienced anticipation, and then it's driven you into action towards the same experience of dopamine. Wow. So it's very important. Like if you're going to sit on the sofa and not be on it, they have to not be on it as well because the battle is too hard to fight.

We really want as a society high baseline dopamine. It's so important that we all every day are waking up and we're generating a ton of this chemical. It leads to you just living your best experience of life you possibly can in terms of everything. Your ability to cook and exercise and work and connect and have sex and just be a thriving modern human.

All of us are basically waking up with low baseline dopamine and therefore it is not the greatest experience of life humanity can have. And if we do begin to get this chemical back into balance, that's what's going to be the end product.

So when you have all these different actions coming into play, ultimately you're just looking at, do I want to absolutely love my experience of life or do I want it to feel like pretty cool, like pretty average, medium?

And it's like, if you can experience like your life feeling really good, and I've had this, like all of this guidance doesn't come from a neuroscientist that thinks dopamine is cool. It comes from an addict that lived a pretty shit experience of life for like 10 years. And I just wasn't that happy. I wasn't thriving in my work. My food wasn't good. My exercise wasn't good. Dating wasn't good.

Everything was off. My ability to feel connected to my family and contribute to my family, everything felt misaligned. And ultimately, getting dopamine in check just changed all of that. It completely changed the experience I'm having. And we all get this period of time where we get to be a human. It would be nice if we can thrive throughout that time.
