À propos de cet audio
In this Simple Healthy Life episode, Ryan and MJ unpack the hedonic treadmill, also known as hedonic adaptation, and why new jobs, houses, or wins feel great at first then fade back to a happiness set point. They break down what actually shapes baseline happiness (genes, circumstances, and mindset), why comparison and social media warp perspective, and how to raise your baseline with actions that stick. Expect real talk and practical tools: presence and journaling, meaningful work, relationships and connection, gratitude reps, breath and meditation, and the rule that clarity comes after action. If you have ever thought, “Once I get X I’ll be happy,” this conversation shows how to build durable well-being instead of chasing short highs.
