Why do we feel constantly drained - even when we’re doing nothing? In this episode of Decoding Wisdom, I dive into the hidden addictions of modern life: social media, scrolling, overthinking, and the endless pursuit of stimulation. Inspired by the book 'Dopamine Nation' and insights from Chris Williamson, Naval Ravikant, and Arthur Brooks - this is a deep look at how our brains are being hijacked... and what we can do about it.

Dating apps are fun… until they’re not.

We were promised love at scale - but what if all we got was dopamine addiction, surface-level swiping, and a generation that’s scared to fall in love the real way?

In this episode, I dive into why I’ve never liked dating apps - and why neuroscience might actually back me up. Inspired by Arthur Brooks’ conversation on Modern Wisdom, we’ll unpack:

• The 5 chemical stages of falling in love (and how dating apps keep you stuck in the first two)
• Why most of us are looking for a mirror, not a match — and don’t even realize it
• The psychology behind why modern dating feels so transactional
• What hookup culture, bioengineering, and ancient wisdom all have in common

I’m not saying I’ll never use them again. But I am saying this: you can’t swipe your way to soul-level connection.

And if you've ever felt like something’s missing in today’s dating world... this episode might explain why.

🎯 This one’s real. Raw. And might just change how you look at love forever.
