Hedonic treadmill
Observed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes
The hedonic treadmill, also known as hedonic adaptation, is the conjecture that humans quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness (or sadness) despite major positive or negative events or life changes. According to this theory, as a person makes more money, expectations and desires rise in tandem, resulting in no permanent gain in happiness.
