209. TJ Power: How Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin & Endorphins Drive Happiness and Longevity

Here’s what nobody tells you about happiness: it’s not philosophical, it’s biochemical, and there’s a formula for it. Neuroscientist TJ Power joins me to decode the DOSE effect (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins), the four neurochemicals that determine whether you wake up energized or apathetic, connected or isolated, fulfilled or constantly chasing more. The game-changer here is understanding that you can’t scroll your way to serotonin or double-tap your way to oxytocin!
