Are you aware of the sneaky trap your brain sets to keep you perpetually chasing happiness? Discover the concept of hedonic adaptation, a cheeky little brain game that I unravel in my book "Let it Be Easy." This episode peels back the layers on why that raise or new phone loses its sparkle so quickly, and why downsizing your house might not be the emotional earthquake you'd expect. Happiness researcher Dr Sonja Lyubomirsky opened my eyes to the startling truth that only 10% of our joy stems from external goodies—the rest is up to us.
