Welcome to the hedonic treadmill
Perhaps, if asked, what would you say about scoring happiness as of now on a scale of 10.

Can you embarrass yourself today?
The other day, I watched a TV interview of an actress who claimed she knew she would become an actor growing up. It seems she knew the answers to all the bizarre questions that can help her find a true calling in life.
