#95 - Daniel Z. Lieberman, MD (Dopamine, addiction, ADHD, sports)

📄 Episode Description:
What really drives us to want more—more success, more attention, more achievement? 🤔 In this episode of Bendiksen Airways, Alexander Bendiksen ✈️ sits down with psychiatrist and author Dr. Daniel Z. Lieberman 🧑‍⚕️, co-author of the best-selling book The Molecule of More, to explore the brain’s most restless chemical: dopamine 🔥.

Together, they dive into how dopamine shapes ambition, creativity, love, addiction, and even politics 🧬❤️📈—and what that means for high performers, from elite athletes ⚽️ to everyday strivers. Alexander brings in his perspective as a professional football coach 🎯 to ask how dopamine plays into motivation, burnout, team dynamics, and the endless pursuit of “what’s next” ⏭️.

This conversation blends science 🔬, psychology 🧠, and sport 🏆 into a compelling look at why we’re wired for more—and how to live well with that drive 💡.
