You Will NEVER Get Enough...

Here are some good words from psychology professor Barry Schwartz.

Are you already dissatisfied with all the new stuff you got for Christmas?  You may suffer from hedonic adaptation. Hedonic adaptation is just a fancy label for what we already know: we get used to things.   Psychology has developed a pretty rich understanding of what it is that produces happiness—what is sometimes called life satisfaction or subjective well being.
And for the most part, what produces happiness isn’t stuff. People thrive when they have a network of close relations to others and when they have meaningful work that they find engaging.
Stuff just doesn’t do it.
Most of us get more pleasure out of doing than out of having.  

Barry Schwartz is a professor of psychology at Swarthmore College
