The Molecule of Happiness

Best Short Student Documentary Martin Studnický Czech Republic, Documentary, English, 00:23:56

I’m dopamine—the molecule that powers your joy, motivation, and desires. When I’m in balance, you feel energized and alive. But when I’m off, emptiness, anxiety, or addiction can take over. I control your cravings, drive, and mood—often without you realizing it. Understand me and take control before I take control of you.
