    It's important to talk about the difference between dopamine and serotonin. Dopamine makes you want more. Serotonin makes you feel like you have enough and you don't need more. All that stuff that money can't buy - a good relationship, pets' love, friends, family, meditation, etc. those are the things that make you feel content. We tend to seek dopamine to make us happy, but it never will, because you will never have enough. We should be seeking serotonin.

    Well, George (if you read this) - me, my wife, and my son did that whole McKay's (used book store) 5 store visit to get $800 credit. Yes, it was insane. Knoxville was the location where all the heat exhaustion stuff took place. We travelled from our home state of NC and ended in Nashville. We ended up with $840 credit each - and we visited you guys the next day down in Franklin. You and Dave were hosting that next day. You got the pleasure of meeting us.
    $1,680 of McKay's store credit and meeting Dave and George: Priceless.

    • @shelleydorman176
      @shelleydorman176 Месяц назад +4

      I'm his wife and I was here to say the same thing. It was SO worth it. McKay's mitigated disaster by allowing people to skip some stores. And seeing you and Dave on your show and learning more about the Battle of Franklin, and making it a trip for our family helped make it worth it. Sorry to take away your dopamine!

    Nope! I have internet way out in the country with Starlink and I can promise you social media is still a huge presence for me and most other people. I deleted FB years ago, never really got into IG, won’t do Tik Tok ever, but RUclips… I can waste my life away listening to videos all day long!

Always a disappointment when a restaurant doesn't live up to expectations, especially if you've been there before. We prefer to cook at home, and save a bit of money as a bonus.

    Also one of the great Dopamine detox things is to chase Serotonin instead. That’s the other happiness hormone thats the high you get after doing something hard or accomplishing a goal.
    For myself, I used to play Video Games too much sometimes. But now I make them instead, and getting a feature implemented or seeing a handmade 3d character run around is the best feeling ever.

    Life is meaningless and all that we pursue is vanity…but WITH GOD, everything we do is given meaning and purpose. With God it is abundance even in our lacking. It is joy when there is no reason to smile. With God we are truly free to be in this world because we are free from the vain pursuits of materialism and worldly values. Everything we do, whether it’s washing the dishes, an average job like accounting, or feeding the homeless, is an act of worship as we do it to the glory of God!
