Chapter Eight:Problem of Adaptation
Adaptation: we get used to things, and then we start to take them for granted.
1,Changed Response to a Persistent Event and Changed Reference Point
Hedonic Treadmill: Adaptation to commodities or experience;
Satisfaction Treadmill: Adaption to the subjective feeling.
2,Mispredicting Satisfaction:
Human beings are remarkably bad at predicting how various experiences will make them feel, especially in the long term.引自 Chapter Eight:Problem of Adaptation
3,Problem of Adaptation:
Adaptation, by dramatically truncating the duration of those benefits, puts us into a state of mind where the result just wasn't worth the effort.引自 Chapter Eight:Problem of Adaptation
4,What is to be Done:
Factoring in adaptation may help us be satisfied with choices that are good enough rather than "the best " and this in turn will reduce the time and effort we devote to making those choices.
Remind ourselves to be grateful for what we have.引自 Chapter Eight:Problem of Adaptation
