Listen "4. Hedonic Adaptation"
Episode Synopsis
I dive deep into the science of happiness and suffering. Hedonic adaptation is a concept I introduced in ep2 but didn't really explain. Understanding hedonic adaptation is core to understanding the utopian trap and ultimately to understanding my approach to confronting the current meaning crisis. This episode was done freeform, that's why it's so much longer than the others
Thank you to Laurie Santos for helping to solidify my understanding of the science of happiness (hedonic adaptation in particular). She has some great online courses
