Description

If you're feeling stuck, therapy might help. Discover how hedonic adaptation can impact your happiness and why everyday activities may feel less fulfilling over time.


You start your day with work, spend hours at a job you once cherished but now find monotonous. After work, it's dinner and TV, all to be repeated the next day.


Weekends bring sports or socializing, but something still feels missing. Activities that once thrilled you, like cooking or socializing, now seem dull.


This concept, known as Hedonic Adaptation, explains why achieving lasting happiness can be elusive.
