Miguel Moreira da Cruz co-built a dating app after 1,000 combined dates with his co-founder — and still felt the same old pull toward a new match over the person already in front of him. He unpacks the neuroscience showing love lights up the brain's motivation and reward system, not its emotion centers, and — backed by Barry Schwartz's paradox of choice and John Gottman's decades of couples research — makes the case that love isn't found, it's built, one choice of presence over distraction at a time. CEO, founder, and mentor focused on how humans form meaningful connections in the digital age; founder of a video-first dating platform (this is "Eight," confirmed from the tracker). Draws on neuroscience, psychology, and real-world data from thousands of interactions. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
