Draft:Hedonic Treadmill
| Submission declined on 9 January 2025 by CanonNi (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

Hedonic Treadmill
Regardless of major life events, good or bad, humans tend to quickly return to a stable state of happiness, which is known as the "hedonic treadmill" or "hedonic adaptation." Although achieving a goal or gaining material wealth may temporarily increase happiness, these benefits tend to diminish as people adjust to their new circumstances.Similarly, even a bad experience can lead to a happy recovery. This theory suggests that worldly achievements have no long-term effect on happiness. Instead, long-term satisfaction comes from internal factors such as gratitude, relationships, and personal growth. We can stop chasing benefits for a while and focus on our real value by knowing the impact of driving. Happiness and contentment are the result of this thinking.
