Hedonic Treadmill.

Hedonic Treadmill



Hedonic Treadmill is ‘the tendency of a person to remain at a relatively stable level of happiness despite a change in fortune or the achievement of major goals. According to the hedonic treadmill, as a person makes more money, expectations and desires rise in tandem, which results in no permanent gain in happiness.’

‘Hedonic’ means ‘of, relating to, or characterized by pleasure’; whereas ‘hedonism’ is ‘the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the sole or chief good in life’.


Came across this term sometime ago while browsing for GP stuffs.
Found this term relatively true and interesting.
