No incentive for working hard or being creative Easterlin Paradox - ANS High incomes do correlate with happiness, but long term, increased income doesn't correlate with increased happiness. Increasing average income does not raise average well-being after a certain point. Focusing Illusion - ANS An explanation for the Easterlin Paradox and why we don't know what makes up happy. When you focus on something it becomes very important to you. When you really want something you think it'll make you happier when you get it just because you're focusing on it. Value of stuff - ANS The value of something goes down from the moment you buy something until it's worth nothing like a year later to you. But it also becomes extremely important to you once you lose it Hedonic Treadmill for the Easterlin Paradox - ANS As income rises, people soon grow used to their higher standard of living and feel they need even more money to lead a good life.

Without choice we end up in learned helplessness, which impacts future motivation, learning and leads to depression But more choice might not always mean more control. We get overwhelmed at some point-- and less happy. Being connected to other people decreases our choice and control...but being connected to others seems much more important to subjective wellbeing than being rich. Learned Helplessness - ANS a condition in which a person suffers from a sense of powerlessness, arising from a traumatic event or persistent failure to succeed. It is thought to be one of the underlying causes of depression.

We get bored of stuff so easily! It's harder to compare experiences so it's harder for us to feel like we're getting the short end of the stick
