Dopamine Paradox: The Pain of Chasing Pleasure

Thinkers & Drinkers Presents:

The Dopamine Paradox: The Pain of Chasing Pleasure

As we step into a new year armed with goals, resolutions, and good intentions it’s worth asking the hard questions.

Join us for a thought-provoking Thinkers & Drinkers discussion on the Dopamine Paradox, the idea that in a world of endless stimulation, convenience, and reward, our pursuit of pleasure may be the very thing undermining motivation, meaning, and joy.

We’ll explore questions like:
• Why do modern comforts sometimes leave us anxious, unmotivated, or numb?
• How does dopamine actually work, and how has it been hijacked by modern life?
• Why do discipline, discomfort, and restraint often feel better in the long run?
• How can we set goals that lead to fulfillment, not burnout?
• What does a “good life” look like in an age of instant gratification?
