What is the happiness set point? It is our baseline of contentment to which we naturally return. We all have a set point, which can be positive or negative depending on our perspective.
On this shortcast, we’re diving into a super intriguing topic: happiness. Have you ever wondered why that new car or pay raise feels normal so quickly? The new becomes normal in just a few weeks or even moments. It’s all about how you define and experience your sense of happiness.
Join me as we chat about how our minds adapt to new joys, why gratitude is essential, and how you can consciously shift your happiness level. I’ll share some personal stories and insights from experts like Philip Brickman and Donald T. Campbell, and we’ll explore practical tips to keep your life vibrant and exciting.
The point is that we are hardwired to habituate any new experience, making it our new normal. This is called the hedonic tread, and while it may steel our joy, it is there to keep us safe.
So, grab a cup of coffee, get comfy, and let’s explore how to keep the magic alive in your everyday moments.
