Notable quotes:

"I'm gonna climb this mountain only to want the next mountain to climb"

"Dopamine itself is not the reward, it's the build up to the reward"

"The keys are to pursue rewards but understand that the pursuit is actually the reward, if you want to have repeated wins"

"The problem is not pleasures, the problem is that pleasure experienced without prior requirement for pursuit is terrible for us"

"Addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. A good life is the progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure"
