6 min readJun 7, 2022

A staggering little molecule fundamentally shapes the best and worst of life.

Dopamine is the chemical substrate we recognize as our insatiable zest for life.

It’s also the puppet-master of addiction.

Mastering this double-edged molecule can be the difference between achieving your most venerated visions, and drowning in the current of ephemeral rewards.

In this series, you’ll learn how.

About The Huberman Notes

Before delving into how dopamine controls your motivation, I’d like to explain what to expect from The Huberman Notes.

The Huberman Notes will present the science featured on The Huberman Lab Podcast.

Many will be familiar with the podcast, as it frequently ranks in the top 25 of all podcasts globally. The podcast often holds the #1 spot in the categories of Science, Education, and Health & Fitness.

These statistics become all the more astonishing by the fact of its relatively recent launch in 2021.

The podcast's rapid accent is a testament to the quality and useability of the knowledge shared.

It’s hosted by Andrew Huberman, Ph.D.
