The Scott Adams School - 09/30/26 WHITEBOARD! AI Luncheon. FRAUD. MIKE ROWE, Happiness!

Adams frames happiness as manageable body chemistry (oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin) achievable through daily lifestyle systems, not willpower.

• Happiness is chemical, not mental: Adams argues happiness depends on dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin levels driven by lifestyle, not positive thinking — treat it as a physical, controllable process.
• Systems beat goals: Adams reframes happiness as an outcome of daily systems (diet, exercise, sleep, social generosity, learning) rather than a single mental goal to will yourself into.
