    Quit Cheap Dopamine | Nick Trenton Audiobook Preview | Chapter 1: The Bar Moved - The Path to Calm

    ABRIDGED PREVIEW: this is a shortened version of the chapter. The complete chapter is in the full audiobook. Quit Cheap Dopamine by Nick Trenton: Chapter 1, an audiobook preview. In this chapter, we delve into the complexities of dopamine and its role in our desires versus actual enjoyment. We learn from researchers who have altered dopamine levels in animals to see how it affects their work ethic for sugar and their genuine enjoyment of it. This study reveals that desire and enjoyment are two separate things—just because you want something doesn't mean you'll enjoy it as much when you finally get it. We explore the concept of "stuck" brains, where the pull towards a stimulus no longer checks whether the reward is there or not. For instance, your brain might be conditioned to expect notifications every few seconds, making slower pleasures feel less rewarding in comparison. This constant influx of new things raises our pleasure bar so high that normal life can't match up. To understand these changes better and track them over time, we introduce a simple method for measuring enjoyment levels before quitting any habit. By scoring how much you truly enjoy something—like your morning coffee—before making any changes, you can set reminders to reassess after two weeks. This process helps identify whether your brain's bar has really moved or if it’s just your expectations that have shifted. Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:15 Chapter 1: The Bar Moved 2:20 Your Dopamine Isn’t Your Joy 5:14 The Pull Doesn’t Care What’s on Offer 9:40 The Gray List 14:43 Joanna’s First Three Numbers 17:37 Outro The release date will be announced.
