Gen Zers Unplugging With Dopamine Menus

Gen Zers are sharing their recipe for happiness on social media: dopamine menus. The trend shuns technology in favor of simple, unplugged pleasures like morning walks, pastries, and natural sunlight. Dopamine menus are often constructed just like menus in restaurants, with starters, main “dishes”, and sides. TikToker @happyolivestudio created her dopamine menu out of stickers, markers, and notes. However, not everyone has a realistic list of things that bring them joy. “I don’t even know what my dopamine menu is,” one user commented. “I realized a few years ago my dopamine menu is really drastic things—like I don’t feel anything unless I’m at a concert, at a Broadway show, or at a Disney park,” another wrote.
