Data from humans make it very clear:
wins preceded by effort result in
significant increases in testosterone.
Wins not preceded by direct effort do
not. (True for all people & across
domains: physical, cognitive, etc.
(although physical effort has its own
impact too of course).

& yes, the effort must be related to
the win. This all should be of
consideration when thinking about
what to spend your time on, why wins
sometimes (but not always) amplify
wins in subsequent challenges and
generally, how the mind and body
interact to yield & register "success"

Those findings are also a potent
reminder that if you are spending your
time & effort on something (anything),
you would be wise to ensure the wins
position you to face further
meaningful challenges not "finish
lines"

Effort-win-effort-win... (infinitely
