Into the book
I will be referring frequently to the concept of 'self-leadership', which is the main theme of the book.
Self-leadership is leading yourself.
It's about learning to choose your emotions, to choose your state, whenever you need to, whenever you want to.
--- p.16 From "Give me a hormone cocktail!"
Andrew D., a professor and neuroscientist at Stanford University in the United States,
Huberman explains this ingeniously:
The idea is that before and during any of these activities, dopamine levels increase, driving humans to explore, learn, and develop more actively, and then drop below their previous baseline levels afterward.
--- p.23 From "Dopamine"
Haven't you seen someone watching YouTube videos while playing a game, snacking, and drinking? Simultaneously stacking four dopamine stimuli is called "dopamin stacking."
--- p.29 From "Dopamine"
Participants filled out a questionnaire counting the number of conflicts they experienced in their relationships and the number of hugs they received over a two-week period.
Then, the research team exposed all 406 people to the cold virus.
Surprisingly, the participants who hugged more caught a cold less often, and even when they did, their symptoms weren't as severe.
Conversely, participants who hugged less and experienced more conflict had more severe colds.
Similar results were obtained when targeting coyotes.
These studies suggest that when we are isolated and our oxytocin levels drop, the cells that make up our bodies can actually die.
--- p.69 From "Oxytocin"
Serotonin has been found to be closely related to social status.
People in high positions have higher levels of serotonin.
Because they feel they have everything they need and are not threatened, they tend to be comfortable, healthy, and less stressed.
--- p.95 From "Serotonin"
Cortisol is a hormone that plays an important role in itself, as it releases glucose into the bloodstream for the immune system to use as fuel, and has short-term anti-inflammatory effects, helping to balance immune system activity during inflammatory responses.
--- p.123 From "Cortisol"
Unlike medical morphine, endorphins can be produced by humans and are used for purposes other than pain relief.
Endorphins are the perfect addition to your angel cocktail when you want to feel high on life.
--- p.161 From "Endorphin"
If the skill chosen to elevate social status is kindness, then testosterone amplifies kindness, not violence.
If you choose to develop a sense of humor, it will make you more fun, and if you tend to come up with new inventions or ideas, it will amplify your creativity.
Sapolsky even joked in an interview:
“Perhaps if we gave monks a lot of testosterone, they would compete fiercely to see who could do more kind things.”
--- p.177~178 From “Testosterone”
When I came out of my severe depression, I realized that who I was before was the result of the easiest choices society provided.
I was exercising enough and eating well, but the real problem was the endless stress caused by the ideas and structures that dominated society.
I believed that success meant working hard and becoming wealthy, but in reality, it was all nonsense.
True success is becoming the best version of yourself.
Choosing to act and think in a way that makes you feel good.
Once you reach that state, you can do anything.
Self-leadership is leading yourself.
It's about learning to choose your emotions, to choose your state, whenever you need to, whenever you want to.

Publisher's Review
It changed my depressed life 180 degrees
The Secret of the Six Hormones
The body and mind of modern people are becoming increasingly unbalanced.
While stressful situations are multiplying, such as social media, where comparison and exhibitionism reign supreme, performance-based systems that focus solely on results, and economic anxiety about the future, the solutions to them are becoming increasingly bizarre.
This is because many people seek to relieve stress in destructive ways that involve excessive pursuit of dopamine stimulation.
"Life is Hormones" is a book that contains the magical method that helped a world-renowned lecturer escape the swamp of suffering called depression that lasted 17 years.
This hormone management method, which utilizes the concept of 'self-leadership', which involves choosing the emotions you want and leading yourself properly, completely changed the life of the author, David JP Phillips.
He says the key to a healthy, balanced life and a happier, more fulfilling day lies in mastering these few "neurotransmitters."
Dopamine, which creates energy and excitement, oxytocin, which conveys warmth, serotonin, which provides a sense of stability, cortisol, which protects against stress, endorphins, which bring joy after pain, and testosterone, which boosts will and fighting spirit.
The author says that if you can control these six things at will, you can get one step closer to the life you want, and he introduces a specific method of hormone management that he has researched for many years.
From the scientific principles of neurotransmitters
Practical skills for everyday life
In fact, hormones have a huge impact on our judgments and attitudes.
Choosing something impulsively or reacting irrationally in the moment happens because emotions are the realm of hormones.
The author likens these substances to a 'cocktail' and introduces the method of making an angelic cocktail by secreting what is needed at the time, as well as the positive effects of doing so.
What should you do to successfully complete a meeting you've painstakingly prepared for? In this situation, listening to the high-beat music you often listen to while running on the treadmill at the gym is a good way to boost your testosterone production and boost your enterprising confidence.
If you suddenly feel extremely stressed, it can help to hold a warm cup in both hands.
This is because when your body warms up, oxytocin is released, which helps you relax.
"Life is a Hormone" not only provides detailed biological knowledge about neurotransmitters, but also offers practical techniques for secreting each in everyday life.
By taking a thrilling one-minute cold bath to release endorphins and feel healthy pleasure, and by using observational meditation to shake off distracting thoughts and secrete serotonin to regain a sense of stability, you will soon be able to let go of the habit of seeking intense stimulation and control and output your emotions as you wish.
Wise choices and a healthy mindset depend on how well we tune in and control our internal chemistry.
A situation-specific recipe combining six substances
Manufacture the emotions I need right now
Surprisingly, hormones are secreted in combination according to the situation to maximize their effectiveness.
The author introduces a special 'hormone recipe' that allows you to freely control your emotions by appropriately combining the necessary ingredients for each moment, such as moments when you feel trembling, moments when you need courage, and moments when you need to wake up your brain.
If you have an important date or interview coming up, it's a good idea to boost your confidence with testosterone and emphasize human affection with oxytocin. If you need a groundbreaking idea, first calm your mind with serotonin and then release dopamine. Then, a clean sheet of paper will burst with brilliant ideas.
Once you learn how to activate your body's chemical factories to produce neurotransmitters, you'll be able to bring out the best in every stage of life.
If you find yourself feeling irritable, negative, and constantly seeking out more stimulation, it's because you've been constantly drinking the devil's cocktail of chronic stress and inflammation.
If you properly understand the mechanisms of chemical reactions occurring in the body through "Life is Hormones" and learn how to secrete the substances you need in each situation, you will definitely be able to have a more perfect day than yesterday.
The ability to cultivate a wonderful life in all aspects, including physical condition, interpersonal relationships, and work efficiency, depends on how you manage your hormones.
Now, become your own hormone bartender and create a custom angel cocktail that's just right for you, and discover a new version of yourself you've never known before.
