codinghorror,

This Happiness Lab podcast episode "Unhappy Millionaire" is kind of blowing my mind. I've written about Dan Gilbert before, he's a genius, and it just gets better and better from there. Hard recommend (minus the annoying hard-coded ads) -- I guarantee this will surprise you in ways you absolutely don't see coming https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/the-happiness-lab-with-dr-laurie-santos/the-unhappy-millionaire

@codinghorror Is he the author who did a Ted talk on happiness showing how a lottery winner’s and an amputee’s happiness charts deviate at the time of the change but then quickly come back to normal?

codinghorror,

@andreimoment not sure but that sounds correct

codinghorror,

This is my Dan Gilbert blog entry (2012). Massive respect. https://blog.codinghorror.com/buying-happiness/

jjarava,

@codinghorror Great article that I somehow missed back then… and I’m sorry I hadn’t! What it says resonates a lot with me.

BTW, the links to the PDF seem to be dead, they point to what seems to be Daniel Gilbert’s site… looking around the paper seems to be this link:

https://dtg.sites.fas.harvard.edu/DUNN%20GILBERT%20&%20WILSON%20%282011%29.pdf

And on archive.org:

HTH

codinghorror,

@jjarava Thank you! I will edit. Linkrot is a curse.

Honkon,

@codinghorror I just downloaded the podcast, but I must say this blogpost is such a classic to me (second only to "On Parenting")

codinghorror,

@Honkon 🙇 that is so very kind of you, thank you
