7.Summary

Dopamine has two sides.On the one hand, it is a great motivator. It can motivate us to pursue our goals. On the other hand, it is an evil. It put too much pressure on us that makes us unhappy.Therefore, we can not judge whether it is good or bad. We should use its advantages to promote our least favorite tasks. On the contrary, we should not give in to its shortcomings.
