Nothing real new in this Washington Post blurb on a new book “The Emotional Revolution: How the New Science of Feelings Can Transform Your Life.”
But I’d never heard of the phrase ‘hedonic treadmill’ before. I like it. “Researchers refer to the “hedonic treadmill” theory, which compares the pursuit of happiness to a person on a treadmill, who has to keep working just to stay in the same place.”
And it appears from the reviews on Amazon that there’s a lot more to the book than the Post blurb would indicate… especially the brain research on emotions. I’ll check it out.
