Synthesizing Happiness
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy.html
This explains a lot about a 4yr olds behavior. If I give her 2 choices and she chooses one, she will be much happier than if I give her every possible choice.
How can I apply these limits to myself? Some are already applied for me, but I wonder how I can seek to apply them on purpose for my own well being.
Science is cool.
