The cure for boredom is curiosity.  There is no cure for curiosity.  ~Dorothy Parker

Did you know that dopamine regulates feelings of enjoyment and reinforces motivation to proactively perform  activities? It’s functions also include important roles in behavior and cognition, voluntary movement, motivation and reward, sleep, mood, attention and learning.  Simply, the more dopamine our brain produces the faster we learn. Until last week, dopamine was connected with the pleasure system of the brain – the belief was that the more pleasure we experience, the more dopamine brain produces. The latest research in Positive Psychology reveals that dopamine is actually a byproduct of curiosity and the pleasure kicks in only if there is an element of curiosity involved. Do you wonder why that is so?
