Hedonic Treadmill/Say sorry before it's late/ German Instrument of Surrender

Leave a Comment

Dear all

The Hedonic Treadmill is a concept that describes how humans tend to adapt to changes in their lives, especially those related to their level of happiness or well-being. It suggests that even after experiencing positive or negative events, people tend to return to their baseline level of happiness over time.

Hedonic Treadmill

Imagine you buy a brand new smartphone that you've been wanting for a long time. At first, you feel really happy and excited about it. The phone has all the latest features, and you enjoy using it every day. However, as time goes by, you start to get used to having the phone. The initial excitement wears off, and it becomes a normal part of your life. Eventually, you might start desiring another new and improved phone because the current one no longer brings you the same level of happiness.

This example illustrates the hedonic treadmill. It shows how we often adapt to positive changes and become accustomed to them, which diminishes their impact on our overall happiness. The concept suggests that we constantly strive for more to maintain or increase our level of happiness, but these gains are often temporary, and we end up back at our baseline level.

In simple terms, the hedonic treadmill tells us that we tend to return to our usual level of happiness even after experiencing positive or negative events, and we often seek new things to keep us happy because we adapt to the things we already have.

**Three Quotes and Phrases I Liked**

"Never look back unless you're planning to go that way." –– Henry David Thoreau

"By lying, we deny others a view of the world as it is. Our dishonesty not only influences the choices they make, it often determines the choices they can make—and in ways we cannot always predict. Every lie is a direct assault upon the autonomy of those we lie to."

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." - Oprah Winfrey. Your real friends are there for you when you have nothing to offer in return. Cherish them.
