The neuroscience of habit formation and breaking is often overlooked, despite its significance in understanding behavior change.

Dopamine and norepinephrine are neurochemicals that drive attention, alertness, and excitement, playing a crucial role in activating flow.

To increase dopamine release, one can practice subjective rewards through thoughts, actions, or even certain drugs, but caution is needed with substances like cocaine and methamphetamine due to their addictive nature.

Dopamine is primarily released in anticipation and craving rather than in response to pleasure, which narrows our focus on what we desire.

Behavioral tools should come first; if your behaviors are not right, supplements won't help in the long run.

Flow releases a cocktail of neurochemicals, including dopamine and endorphins, which enhance our emotional state and performance.

The emotional state of individuals, such as arousal, can significantly influence attention and decision-making processes.

Most pharmaceuticals have side effects because chemicals like dopamine and serotonin are present in multiple areas of the brain, not just where you're trying to repair.

Neurochemicals like dopamine and endorphins are linked to emotions and can be triggered by external substances, but our brain produces them naturally in flow states.
