Hedonic Adaptation

Hedonic adaptation refers to the tendency of humans to quickly adjust to positive or negative changes in life and return to a relatively stable level of happiness or subjective well-being. When we experience something pleasurable like a new job, relationship, or material possession, we tend to feel very happy at first. But over time, we become accustomed to it and the thrill wears off. The same happens in reverse with unpleasant changes like illness, injury, or loss of a job. At first, we are quite unhappy but then we adjust and return to our normal state.

This adaptation effect occurs because humans have a tendency to maintain a stable equilibrium and adjust their expectations and desires based on their circumstances. Our happiness depends not on the absolute presence or absence of things but on the changes relative to what we have adapted to expect. While adaptation helps ensure we don't remain in a constant state of extreme joy or suffering, it also means that we may not benefit from positive or negative life events as much or for as long as we expect. Understanding this tendency can help us better appreciate the good things we have and be more resilient in the face of difficulties.
