- People are remarkably adaptable and quickly get used to many of the accomplishments they strive for in life.
- Following a variable period of adjustment, we bounce back to our previous level of happiness, no matter what happens to us.
- Our adaptability works in two directions: because we are so adaptable, we quickly get used to many of the accomplishments we strive for, but once we reach a milestone, we start to feel that something is missing.
- We can get off the treadmill entirely by focusing on activities that are dynamic surprising, and attention- absorbing.
