There is a really great psychiatrist named Stanislav Groff who has a breathing technique that can be used to induce euphoria. Could be worth looking at. --U3151994

Overall, this is a promising, interesting chapter with a rich combination of theory and research. The chapter makes good use of interwiki links. However, the chapter is undermined by the poor quality of written expression.
For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.
The theoretical coverage about neurophysiological is excellent, as is the material about love. Music is covered lightly.
The material about video games seem to wander off into anti-video game viewpoints/debate, losing the primary focus of the chapter which is on ways to induce "natural" euphoria.
The coverage of exercise-induced euphoria is very good.
Consider connecting this topic with "peak experiences"
Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
Some statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful.
Overall, the quality of written expression is problematic and not of a professional standard, mainly due to be poor grammar.
The chapter could benefited from a better developed Overview (e.g., include focus questions) and Conclusion (e.g., providie some more practical take-home messages about natural ways to induce euphoria).
Layout
The chapter uses a basic, but effective structure.

Audio communication lacks assurance and confidence.
Audio communication is well paced and not overly complicated.
Visual communication is overly detailed - be more selective about key points to reduce the amount of text which is more than people can reasonably read and digest in the time allowed.
Images are well used, but there is no acknowledgement of copyright - copyright is likely to have been violated.
