undertake difficult tasks, such as marathons or challenging work 106 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,880 projects, even without immediate rewards. 107 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:47,920 This chemical messenger in our brains is linked to processing rewards and motivation. 108 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:54,080 While dopamine is often associated with pleasure-seeking behaviors like smartphone use, it also encourages 109 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,080 us to value and pursue challenging activities. 110 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,280 Science Michael Inslich calls this the effort paradox, where we sometimes prefer hard work 111 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:11,560 over easy, finding more satisfaction in tasks that require perseverance. 112 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:18,480 This intrinsic motivation can foster a balanced, sustainable pursuit of challenges and rewards. 113 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:29,640 And in entertainment news, Netflix will pay $150 million to air two NFL games on Christmas 114 00:09:29,640

00:09:55,300 The Chiefs, led by stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, will face the Steelers, potentially 119 00:09:55,300 --> 00:10:00,080 quarterbacked by Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. 120
