The Dopamine Metastasis

from Tsundoku · host Burak Soysal

sundoku is the Japanese term for acquiring books and letting them pile up unread. This podcast applies that concept to the mind: the piling up of unread ideas, unprocessed thoughts, and digital input that we collect but never use. The overarching theme is the pursuit of slowing down, stepping away from the "dopamine race," returning to analog habits (like writing with pen and paper), and allowing the brain the necessary space to process information.
