In this episode of Sufferless with a Part-Time Monk, Tim Tamashiro explores the science of real happiness — what he calls Happimore. Discover why your brain’s two-million-year-old operating system keeps chasing dopamine highs and how to gently rewire it for calm, contentment, and lasting joy.
From Japan’s quiet streets to the neuroscience of craving, Tim shares how awareness and simple daily design can shift your chemistry from wanting to well-being. Learn how dopamine fuels endless scrolling and sugar cravings, while serotonin — the molecule of peace and connection — helps you feel grounded and fulfilled.
You’ll hear personal insights from Tim’s journey as a part-time monk, including how he uses self-hypnosis to manage cravings and how you can apply the same tools to your own life.
If you’ve ever wondered why happiness feels fleeting — or how to find peace that lasts — this episode is your practical guide to suffering less and Happimoring more.
