Hedonic Adaptation: Why Money Alone Won’t Make You Happier

You get the raise.
Upgrade your car.
Feel amazing… for a while.
Then? Back to normal.

That’s hedonic adaptation—our brain’s tendency to adjust to new pleasures until they feel ordinary.

It’s why even big wins lose their shine.
So what’s the antidote?

Use money to create depth, not just comfort.

  • Buy back your time.
  • Pay for experiences, not just possessions.
  • Invest in growth, connection, and creativity.

Because lasting happiness doesn’t come from more.
It comes from meaning.
