Reflection

Focus

The brain doesn't just respond to rewards; it responds to the pursuit of rewards.

— Andrew Huberman

Why this matters:

The brain doesn’t just respond to rewards; it responds to the pursuit of rewards. Dopamine is the molecule of ‘more.’ If we can learn to attach our sense of reward to the effort itself rather than the outcome, we create an infinite source of motivation that is independent of external success.
