EMOTIONAL OR OTHERWISE, PHYSICAL OR OTHERWISE. YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS A DIFFERENTIAL ENGINE. IT LOOKS AT DIFFERENCES. IT LOOKS AT CONTRASTS. THAT’S ALL IT CARES ABOUT. IT INTEGRATES INFORMATION BY INTEGRATING A BUNCH OF LITTLE DIFFERENCES IN THINGS. WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE? UH, TO BE SUCCESSFUL, TO BE HAPPY, AND, UH, TO LIVE A LONG, HEALTHY LIFE. WHAT’S GONNA MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL AND HAPPY? WHAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE SUCCESSFUL AND HAPPY? UH. RIGHT NOW, MONEY. YEAH, LOTS OF MONEY. WE’RE TOLD IN OUR SOCIETY THAT THE WAY TO BE A COMPETENT PERSON, THE WAY TO BE A GOOD PERSON IS TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY. IN THE LAST YEARS, ECONOMIC GROWTH HAS GONE UP A LOT. IN AMERICA, FOR EXAMPLE, WE’RE ABOUT TWICE AS WEALTHY AS WE WERE YEARS AGO. THE NATIONALLY REPRESENTATIVE SURVEYS OF PEOPLE’S HAPPINESS SHOW THAT HAPPINESS HAS REMAINED STAGNANT. PEOPLE AREN’T ANY HAPPIER THAN THEY WERE YEARS AGO, EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE LIVING IN A LOT BIGGER HOUSES, THEY HAVE MORE CARS. ANYBODY WHO SAYS, SHOULD GO TALK TO SOMEBODY LIVING UNDER A BRIDGE. BUT ANYBODY WHO SAYS, “MONEY BUYS HAPPINESS,” SHOULD GO TALK TO BILL GATES, OKAY? NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS IS ACTUALLY TRUE. WHEN MONEY BUYS YOU OUT OF THE BURDENS OF HOMELESSNESS, OF NOT KNOWING WHERE YOUR NEXT MEAL WILL COME FROM, IT CHANGES YOUR HAPPINESS DRAMATICALLY. BUT ONCE YOU HAVE BASIC NEEDS MET, MORE MONEY DOESN’T SEEM TO BUY MORE HAPPINESS. THE DIFFERENCE IN HAPPINESS BETWEEN THE PERSON WHO EARNS $, AND $, IS DRAMATIC. THE DIFFERENCE IN HAPPINESS BETWEEN THE PERSON WHO EARNS $, AND $ MILLION IS NOT DRAMATIC. THE IDEA GOES BACK TO THIS NOTION OF THE HEDONIC TREADMILL, WHICH SAYS THAT WHATEVER LEVEL OF WEALTH OR MATERIAL GOODS YOU HAVE, YOU ADAPT TO IT AND YOU’LL ALWAYS WANT MORE. THAT’S WHAT THE HEDONIC TREADMILL IS. THE HEDONIC ADAPTATION IS ONE OF THE MAIN ENEMIES OF HAPPINESS. REMEMBER ROY BLANCHARD? HE TOLD US EARLIER ABOUT THE NOVELTY AND THE BEAUTY HE EXPERIENCES IN NATURE. WELL, ROY’S ALSO PART OF A FAMILY THAT JUST MIGHT BE ONE OF THE HAPPIEST FAMILIES AROUND. THE BLANCHARDS ARE AN EXTENDED FAMILY OF CHILDREN, SIBLINGS, AND IN-LAWS.
