Dopamine does not generate pleasurable feelings. Pleasurable feelings generate dopamine
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.
