How to Ditch the Hedonic Treadmill

Have you ever chased happiness only to be let down when the things you were chasing didn’t bring lasting joy? You may be stuck on the hedonic treadmill. The “hedonic treadmill” is the tendency to chase one pleasure after another.

This post is the third in our monthly series, “The Psychology of Happiness,” (leading up to the Global TapRooT® Summit, April 26-28, 2023). Your baseline happiness level (how happy you are every day) stays consistent most of your life. But, you can incorporate techniques to feel happier.

Today’s “happy” topic is about how you can influence your state of happiness. Research reveals we can get off the treadmill to increase our level of happiness *plus* make those great feelings last a little longer. This short video gives you 3 simple tips to begin enjoying a higher and lasting level of happiness today.
