The Birth of DOSE: A Happy Accident in the Woods
While lost on a dog walk, Dulcie stumbled upon the concept of DOSE (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphin) as a self-management tool to boost happiness. This idea, further developed through conversations, became a foundational element for The52Project.
Here’s what Dr. Iain Price & Dulcie Swanston want to emphasize.
-
DOSE isn’t entirely original. Others have explored similar models (“convergent evolution of thought”). We acknowledge kindred thinkers like The Marshall Skills Academy, Mind My Peelings, Kaia Roman, Nicole Lazzaro, and Wellington Multiple Sclerosis. We encourage anyone who’s encountered DOSE to connect with us!

DOSE is a simplification, but a useful one. The brain’s complexity means these chemicals are just part of the picture. DOSE can’t be the sole answer to happiness.
