I listened to an interesting podcast the other day by Andrew Huberman in which he talks about dopamine being a motivating chemical (motivates you to do whatever triggered it again) rather than a pleasure chemical, which it’s often thought to be. It’s apparently very much a want over a like situation, which seems to explain the potential lack of enjoyment. I’m not a neuroscientist so I’ll butcher this if I say more, but in terms of want vs like I found it really fascinating.
