Dopamine shapes our motivation, mood, and behaviour—so how can we understand it better?
In this episode of The Meaning of Men, I speak to Michael Long, author, speechwriter, and human behaviour expert, about dopamine, motivation, and men’s mental health. Michael explains how dopamine drives our actions, the risks of chasing constant stimulation, and strategies for taking control of our behaviour rather than being controlled by it.
In this episode you will learn:
What dopamine really is and how it affects motivation, mood, and decision-making
How everyday behaviours like social media use and goal-chasing impact your brain chemistry and mental health
When dopamine helps us thrive and when it can become harmful
Practical strategies to manage dopamine for emotional wellbeing, focus, and self-control
Why understanding dopamine is crucial for men’s mental health awareness and personal growth
This conversation is essential for anyone interested in men’s mental health, neuroscience, motivation, behavioural science, and personal development, offering actionable insights into how to harness dopamine for a healthier, more balanced life.
