Dopamine Detox

Learn how to reset your focus, productivity, and overall capacity for happiness.
Yes, it's that important. In our modern age, we are constantly flooded with dopamine. That might sound like a good thing, but it means that we constantly require more and more stimulation to feel simple happiness. It's a very, very bad thing. It's the root of why we can't accomplish what we want, and why we can't even feel what we want.
Learn how to detox your dopamine, biohack your nutrition, and master the art of energizing sleep.
Dopamine Detox
is a book that teaches you exactly what dopamine is and isn't. It's the pleasure hormone, but that doesn't mean more is better. You'll get various techniques, all scientifically proven and validated, to regulate your dopamine to healthy levels. You'll see how 1, 3, and 7 day detoxes can work, and you'll also learn about the other ways you can prepare your body for peak performance, such as with your gut biome, your sleep, and how small nudges can make you the healthiest person you know.
Easy yet effective strategies to be present, mindful, and in the moment.

    outcomes.

    A focus on results often suggests the possibility of failure. If you don’t do as well as you want, you might be disappointed. Disappointment is a state produced by a failure to predict an adequate reward and, as such, leads to a negative state (in contrast with a pleasant surprise that increases the amount of dopamine our brain releases). Some people only need a small experience with disappointment to be unwilling to take risks or pursue results (Tzieropolous et al., 2011, The impact of disappointment in decision making: inter-individual differences and electrical neuroimaging). While this might appear as a good thing when seeking to reduce dopamine levels, in practice, it drives us to the other extreme and can put a big dent in our plans for self-improvement and growth.

    When you focus on the process, you can save yourself the disappointment. You will fulfill the goal anyway and reduce the likelihood of being demotivated by the results not being up to snuff.

    Instead of focusing on the results, we can focus on the process to increase motivation, productivity, and reduce our dopamine levels when these become too much in anticipation of the reward and begin killing our focus.

    We can find a similar tactic in play in toxic relationships, when our partner might give us the love and affection we crave, but only sometimes, which keeps it unpredictable. Cognitive psychologists have long understood that this intermittent reward keeps us more engaged than if we had a more consistent stream of positive outcomes. Have you ever met someone who was so used to toxic relationships that they felt bored and uneasy when they found themselves in a happy, healthy one? You can bet that they had dysregulated dopamine.

    Uncertain rewards delivered on a random basis can keep us hooked better than consistent reward programs, and social media designers, game designers, and other professionals know it well.
