For the first episode of Season 2 of The Meaning of Men, we’re tackling a topic that’s shaping our lives in ways we don’t even realise—dopamine.
Dopamine plays a crucial role in how we think, feel, and behave. You’ve probably heard people talk about “dopamine hits” when scrolling through social media or chasing that next big achievement. But what is dopamine really? And how does it influence everything from our motivation to our mental health?
To help us break it all down, we're joined by Michael Long— author, speechwriter, and expert in human behaviour. We explore how dopamine drives us, when it helps, when it hurts, and most importantly, how we can take control of it rather than letting it control us. What's clear from this discussion is that better understanding dopamine is key to better mental health awareness.
