Скачать или смотреть Cycles of Desire: Dopamine Addiction, Baseline Happiness, & Sisyphus

What I cover in the video:
Dopamine addiction misconception
the addiction cycle, the addictive chase, and the unsatisfying reward loop
social media's exploitation of this, often fueled by our unconscious desire and impulse for connection, but *the paradox* is the addiction to social media overpowers the parts of the brain needed for social engagement and connection...
our addictions and/or endless cycles of desire are driven by an unconscious desire that hasn't been made conscious, a dysregulated nervous system state that we are unconsciously regulating through the behavior, or an overwhelming unconscious feeling that we are ignoring
the Hedonic Treadmill, baseline of happiness, hedonic adaptation after routine, and the constant desire for new/more
the Myth of Sisyphus as a metaphor for the hedonic treadmill and the gods as the unconscious forces driving our actions until we are consciously doing so via *conscious will*
the antidote: *presence* so rather than fixating on a hypothetical future and/or external things when what you're actually seeking is an *internal feeling.* you only find in the future or at the top of the hill like Sisyphus what you brought with you there (internally!). life is a series of present moments so there never really is a separate distinct future to find. shift from craving to awareness and from wanting to being.
