@theSoutherner She says below:
[quote]The hedonic treadmill, also known as hedonic adaptation, is the observed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes. Hedonism on the other hand is the pursuit of pleasure; sensual self-indulgence.[/quote]

@SatanBurger Thanks for that great explanation! It's so pertinent for Christmas where we get presents and are happy for a while. Then it's back to the old grind.
