The Dopamine Hunt behind 6,7 : how to harness joy grows where attention goes

Aaron & Jenna Zint Season 4 Episode 2

Dopamine isn’t just about pleasure.
It’s about seeking.

Your brain lights up most when the reward isn’t guaranteed—
 when you’re searching, anticipating, scanning.

This is why elementary kids around the country are stoked out of their minds when they encounter or hear 6,7. 

What can we learn here that could help us adults harness & grow our joy as we train our attention intentionally??

Optimism isn’t just a personality trait.
 It’s a trained habit of attention.

In this episode, we talk about:
 • the dopamine “hunt”
 • why unpredictability fuels motivation
 • how learned optimism actually works
 • and what faith has to do with training your brain to look for goodness

Joy doesn’t come from forcing positivity.
 It grows where attention is practiced.
