Bloom Your Mind

Ep 59: Wanting What We Have


Listen Later

I talk a lot about turning ideas into real things and sometimes want to escape the part that's happening now because we think it's going to be so much better later on. This is what we call hedonistic adaptation.

In this episode, I give you three questions and a few resources to help you when you find yourself having a hedonistic brain, and instead being here now, in the dynamic presence that you are living.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Avoiding envy and practicing  gratitude and contentment
  • How to notice when you are in hedonistic adaptation and what to do about it
  • Three questions to help you reorient your perspective
  • Article resource: Harvard study on happiness 
  • Article resource: Predicting our future and how this helps us as we age

Mentioned in this episode: 

  • Ep 57: The Daily Resolution
  • Ep 44: Livin’ on a Boat
  • Dr. Robert Waldinger's book - The Good Life
  • Arthur Brooks - The Atlantic
