Dopamine does not generate pleasurable feelings. Pleasurable feelings generate dopamine

Where you choose to get your dopamine from determines whether you have control over your life or not.
The brain is a prediction machine for rewards, and dopamine represents errors in predicting rewards on motivational aspects. When bets by the brain are resolved, dopamine serves as a signal for whether the outcome was better or worse than expected and how much better or worse the outcome was than expected.
  • Do not get addicted to easily obtained short-term pleasures, but pursue long-term pleasures for better life.
  • It is important to create absolute rules and not to create situations where one does not easily fall into temptation.
  • The moment you consciously think about whether to do something or not, the brain expects a reward, so there's a high chance of choosing pleasurable temptations.
