Testosterone doesn’t create aggression, it amplifies what’s already within you. If you’re kind and collaborative, it can make you even more generous.

If you’re naturally assertive, it heightens your confidence.
But if you’re aggressive or domineering, it can intensify those tendencies.

Dr. Sapolsky illustrated that testosterone works as a social mirror, magnifying the traits tied to how you seek and maintain status.

In environments that reward kindness and generosity, testosterone enhances those behaviors.

But in settings that glorify dominance or aggression, it fuels those traits instead.
