Recently a motivational speaker named Simon Sinek named five chemicals that have a profound impact on our mood, well-being etc.
Other videos cover these chemicals as well
Also a series of books and videos by Loretta Bruening covering all five chemicals and a book called “The Molecule of More” by Daniel Z. Lieberman which covers dopamine.
These chemicals are:
Endorphins
Dopamine
Serotonin
Oxytocin
Cortisol
I would like you to pick one of these chemicals, research it and tell me:
What is its chemical structure?
What kind of a chemical is it (protein, amine, ester etc.)?
How does it act – chemically – in the body
What is the physiological or psychological effect of the chemical on the body – why is it important.
Give me a concluding paragraph to summarize your findings.
Should contain three or more references.
