By Mark Daily

The following topics are included in this 2-book combo:



Book 1: There is a loop in life: We seek a reward, and we get rewarded with dopamine. This dopamine motivates us to seek more of it, and the cycle repeats itself.

In this guide, we will go over some of the great opportunities and dangers of dopamine. We will discuss the difference between the left and right brain, and the most common differences between dopamine in the female and male brain.

He helped show that the neurotransmitter is greatly involved in the motor system. When the brain fails to produce enough dopamine, it can result in Parkinson's illness.
