• Why do we mispredict what makes us happy? • Understand that our strongest intuitions are often misleading (Annoying Feature of the Mind #1) • Why does miswanting occur? o According to Tim Wilson and Dan Gilbert who coined the term, miswanting is “the act of being mistaken about what and how much you will like something in the future”. • • Understand that we judge ourselves relative to reference points which are often irrelevant and make us feel worse than we should (Annoying Feature of the Mind #2) • We are constantly judging relative to other stuff out there in the world, and it messes up our judgement of what the thing we really care about. • So the more TV you watch, the more unhappy you are with your own income. • Understand that our minds are programmed to adapt and ultimately get used to things (Annoying Feature of the Mind #3) • Hedonic adaptation is the process of becoming accustomed to a positive or negative stimulus such that the emotional effects of that stimulus are attenuated over time. In other words, the hedonic adaptation is the process of things becoming the “new normal”, so that the things that make you happy, make you less happy over time. • Understand that we don’t realize how good we are at adapting and coping and mispredict how certain outcomes will make us feel (Annoying Feature of the Mind #4) • Impact bias, a cognitive bias, is the tendency to overestimate the intensity or the duration of future emotions and states of feeling. This overestimation can occur for both positive and negative feeling states. • Impact bias is worse for negative events! • Discover how cognitive biases (Annoying Features of the Mind) impact your daily life Credit - Dr. Laurie Santos, Professor, Yale University This week’s exercise: • This week exercise is Savouring and write Gratitude Journal • Practice Kindness – do one Random act of kindness everyday o A simple act of doing something nice. o Can come with a host of positive benefits o Doing nice things for others can increase our mood o Just got a nice stuff for people o Can increase our feelings of social connection o it could be something big like donating money or volunteering in your community. Or it can be something small like giving somebody a compliment or just doing something nice o it'll make you feel better than you expect. • Practice Social connection – Seek out more social connection. • being socially connected makes us happier. • Turns out that the simple act of making a new social connection, talking to a stranger on a train, or even at a coffee shop can significantly increase our positive mood. • So, how do you make the most of this activity? We just want you to seek out more social connection, strike up a conversation with a friend, or grab lunch with someone you haven't seen in a while, or even strike up a fast conversation with a stranger, and then track that you did it. • As we've seen, tracking will help us turn one act of social connection into a habit. So, get out there and find a friend or chat with somebody new. The simple act of making a social connection, will make you happier than you expect.
