I've hurt myself and others by not knowing these things. It's borderline criminal not to teach this stuff at school. Show a teenager this one video and their entire life could be different.
Practical summary:
1. Dopamine management
- Abstain from or limit highly desirable activities for up to a month so the dopamine levels are replenished and the baseline dopamine release returns to normal
- Peaks of dopamine decrease our baseline dopamine, required to general motivation and satisfaction with life.
- Go for intermittent, random releases of dopamine
- Don't bundle pleasurable activities with things you want to do (gym and music)
- Flip a coin and choose how much pleasure bundling you'll do to the next activity
- Otherwise the activity alone becomes less pleasurable
2. Direct practices
- Cold water exposure - 2.5x increase and sustained for hours afterwards
- Peaks
- Chocolate - 1.5x
- Sex - 2x (act and pursuit of it)
- Nicotine - 2.5x
- Cocaine - 2.5x
- Amphetamine - 10x
- Exercise - 2x (up to 2x, the more you enjoy it subjectively)
- Coffee combined with another activity (coffee makes the dopamine release more effective)
- Connection with other people
3. Mental strategies
- Subjectivity, perception and belief
- Hearing something that validates our belief about an activity, makes it more pleasurable
- Journaling, thinking positively about something you remember or you're experiencing now releases dopamine
- Learn to spike dopamine from effort
- Don't spike dopamine prior to engaging in effort
- Don't spike dopamine after engaging in effort
- Learn to spike dopamine from effort itself.
When history looks back on this time....Mr. Huberman, you will be one of the names that changed the way people see the world. Thank you for your contribution to this world. Your reach and inspiration reaches so much further than you will ever know.
This is the highest quality science-based podcast in existence, hands down.

I am a 21 year-old engineering student from Madrid, Spain. This is unbelievably helpful.
What a wonderful time we live in, that I can listen to a top-notch neuroscientist talk about perhaps the most important topic for me in this particular moment in my life.
And all this from the comfort of my bedroom and for free.
You, Sir, are one of a kind. God bless you and love you

So to recap..
1) Don't trigger dopamine all the time, even if gained through various sources. Try to dopamine fast.
2) Cold showers can raise dopamine without the crash.
3) Don't layer in dopamine raising activities with things you want to get more motivated for. E.g Listening to music while working.
4) Don't reward yourself before or after hard activities, let the activity itself produce dopamine.
Anything I missed?

I'm a recovering meth addict...3 months Sober today! Thank You Doctor Huberman for giving me the tools necessary to get my "Happy" back. Your videos on addiction and dopamine have delivered the skills I desperately sought to remain an inspiration to those I deeply care for who still suffer from addiction and who WERE too scared to take the initial steps necessary to a longer, healthier and happier future. Seeing how much happier I am and how fast my life is blossoming at 44-after doing Meth Since I was 15-is blowing minds and helping people I know who had given up rethink they're potential. Your Amazing and I want to thank you for changing peoples lives in such a noble, infectious way. Sir you are a blessing! Thank you for saving my life!
