In today’s dopamine addicted society, pleasure and reward seeking indulgence has become a nervous system dysregulator that has now reached a critical mass. What’s worse? The lack of satisfaction from that which we seek outside of ourselves has now diminished the satisfaction that used to come from the “little things” in life. In short, the human condition is suffering and the technology companies are taking advantage of it. So, how can we combat it and pull ourselves out of that reward-seeking loop? Dive in to find out!

In this episode:

  • What is the dopamine disaster really? The reward or the chase?
  • How are technology companies exploiting our addictive tendencies with this?
  • How does it show up in real life examples of this seek-to-reward addiction?
  • How can we combat this addictive tendency with access to our own inner well?
  • What are techniques we can employ to redirect our focus inward in a way that naturally and consciously breaks the loop?
  • How does this show up for your hosts in their own personal lives?
  • What do they do to combat the dopamine drive?
  • What does freedom from that addictive loop look and feel like?

Dive in each week for real talk on meditation, meaning and modern life. And let us know what resonates with you. After all, this podcast was created with you in mind –  to support the human condition by optimizing the human experience.
