DOPAMINE vs. SEROTONIN
Dopamine
Pleasure
Only has 5 receptors.
The neurotransmitter fuels desire and motivation.
Short term, like enjoying a piece of cake
Visceral - it's felt in the body
Inspires taking, like cashing in your chips at the casino
Typically experienced alone (eating, shopping drinking, binging)
Makes the brain say: "This feels good, I want more."
Too much leads to addiction
Serotonin
Happiness
Sends happiness signals across the brain, beginning at least 14 different receptors.
Not addictive
Long term, like contentment
Ethereal - it's felt above the flu
Inspires giving, like volunteering at a soup kitchen
Generally shared (spending time with friends family, colleagues, a congregation, etc.)
Makes the brain say: "This feels good, and it's enough."
Too little leads to depression

Master the Art of Learning
How to Remember and Retain Knowledge
@Josh Sanders
The Feynman
Technique
1. Select a topic to understand deeply.
2. Explain it in simple terms to a child.
3. Identify and fill gaps in your
understanding.
4. Refine your explanation for clarity and accuracy.
5. Test yourself and simplify the explanation further.
6 Top Learning Retention Tips
Diversify your resources
Use varied study materials, such as
videos or books or sticky notes to
engage your attention and
reinforce the learning.
Practice spacing out study
Use spaced repetition to review
information to sink in and reduce
cognitive overload.
Seek deep understanding
Focus on understanding the
'why' behind things to deepen
comprehension and make
information more meaningful.
Prioritise sleep, nutrition, and
exercise to maintain a healthy
brain, which are essential for
effective learning and memory.
Chunk information
Break down complex topics into
smaller, manageable chunks to
prevent overwhelm and use
step-by-step learning.
The Leitner System
Active Recall
Instead of passively
absorbing information,
you strengthen neural
connections by forcing
your brain to dig it out.
12 Brutal Life Lessons
(That no one told you about)
1. Life is unfair.
Accept that immediately and you will
feel more free to execute your goals.
2. Understand what true
freedom is.
Freedom is about the ability to choose what
you do with your time.
3. No one owes you a chance.
You can be talented and hard working,
but without opportunity, people will just
hand you opportunities.
4. Being "busy"
productivity.
It's easy to be busy, the hard part
is being productive. What actually
moves you forward.
5. Critics are always loudest
from the sidelines.
People who've done nothing will
never criticize you. They're not
the ones in the game.
6. Money isn't everything.
Every 20-year-old wants to be a
millionaire. Every 40-year-old
wants to be a 20-year-old.
7. Think step one at a time.
When you have a mountain to
climb, don't let the mountain
overwhelm you.
8. Success and failure are
necessary.
Don't get attached to either. One
blinds you with success, the other
destroys you with doubt.
9. Balance is not the end
goal.
Balance is transient and you should
seek experiences that contribute
to a fulfilling life.
10. You can't control people's
loyalty.
The only loyalty you can rely on is your own
commitment to yourself and your values.
11. Be brave enough to suck.
Limiting yourself to what you've
already mastered is like exploring
a world of opportunity.
12. It's vs you.
Try not to get caught up in the frenzy
of comparing yourself to others.
