There’s a lovely piece in the NYT about what actually it is that makes you happy. Under-indulging (i.e. going without) has been shown time and time again to create more happiness. Yet in this over-resourced world in which many of us live, it’s not at all great at all that we’re been programmed to indulge as much as we do.
Social conditioning? Evolution? Gluttony? All three is my guess. And a big chunk of not really knowing ourselves and what makes us tick.
Much food for thought, goldfish crackers even.
