For years, I’ve seen the connection between money and sex. These are two topics that people think about most, but don’t talk about them. In this episode, I examine this connection as well as the role that both dopamine and emotions play in our relationship with money and sex.

Highlights

• Both money and sex are about how we use our personal energy to interact with the outside world. It’s all about energy flow.
• Understanding how your brain works helps you understand why you do what you do and how to make better choices.
• In our culture – in the US and some other countries – there is a lot of sexual repression and dysfunction.
• I talk about dopamine and how it motivates us.
• Dopamine is part of our survival instinct.
• Anticipating getting more money causes a release of dopamine.
• I talk about how dopamine and disappointment are connected.
• Understanding how dopamine works can help you set more realistic expectations and avoid disappointment.
• Advertisers understand that they have to stimulate your dopamine in order to stimulate your desire for their product.
• You can learn to tame your dopamine response and make pleasure part of conscious living.

• We talk about quantum physics and how who we really are goes beyond the measurable science.
• Spiritual experiences are a side science we just don’t understand yet.

• What we are looking for is connection, touch, and to be seen.
