Gioia is the source there? That's ... intriguing. I'm not implying it is discrediting although it certainly doesn't fit with me. Do they sell dopamine OTC? They need to because I can only identify with two of these, and then only partly.
Communication: My business emails have always been "short texts:" to the point, no fluff, and little pleasantries other than "Hi" and "Thanks." I still pen notes by hand depending on the situation.
I played sports. I watch sports. I gamble on sports. A dopamine high when I win? I can't identify here because, mentally, I've already lost that money. I fail to see the difference in spending $30 on a movie at the theatre with some snacks versus watching a game, with some snacks, and wagering $30. Same time, same money spent, and more than likely I'll enjoy the latter more so than the movie.
OH, you know I've spent some time downtown these last several weeks. I've literally spent hours looking through the galleries at MUSC: their hospitals, clinics, libraries, heck, even the cafeterias. I can get lost (time) looking at pictures in books. On my phone? Meh.
