Can you be too happy? Psychologist Adam Mastroianni talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about our emotional control systems, which seem to work at bringing both sadness and happiness back to a steady baseline.

They also explore whether our general level of happiness is really related to events in our lives or connected to something much larger than ourselves.
