A Nobel Prize-winning psychologist says most people don’t really want to be happy
Interesting article, a quote:
Kahneman argues that satisfaction is based mostly on comparisons. “Life satisfaction is connected to a large degree to social yardsticks–achieving goals, meeting expectations.”
While I guess this is largely true for society as a whole, it’s something I try to avoid for myself, since comparison is the thief of joy.
The article argues that satisfaction is different from happiness, which is fleeting.
