Are We Programmed To Be Unhappy? From the Hedonic Treadmill to Andrew Huberman
Update: 2023-02-22
Description
It's a big question, but I want to tackle it... are we programmed to be unhappy?
The research in this one spans almost 300 years, staring with Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the hedonic treadmill, then heading to modern research by the likes of Anna Lembke and Andrew Huberman; all via the Tocqueville Paradox.
Each of these pices of research presents a stacked deck, where genuine lasting happiness is a fleeting thing. But is the data the truth? And more importantly... are we bound by it?
