Black People Die By Suicide Too Podcast
The Molecule Of More Featuring Dr. Daniel Lieberman & Michael Long
Why is some happiness so fleeting? What makes us want more; more sex, more likes on social media, and more money? Did you know there is a chemical in our brain that drives us to want more and feeds our creativity? In this week’s episode Kea is joined by Michael Long & Dr. Daniel Lieberman, authors of the book, The Molecule of More. They explained what forces us to crave more and why we do the things we do.

Dr. Lieberman is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a recipient of the Caron Foundation Research Award, and he has published over 50 scientific reports on behavioral science.

Dr. Lieberman studied the Great Books at St. John’s College. He received his medical degree and completed his psychiatric training at New York University.
