Happiness from ordinary experiences
This surprisingly deep insight, on aging and happiness, appeared in a 2013 article in the Journal of Consumer Research, by Amit Bhattacharjee of Dartmouth College and Cassie Mogilner of UCLA. It was resurfaced this week by Derek Thompson, a writer at The Atlantic:
"Younger people, who view their future as extensive, gain more happiness from extraordinary experiences; however, ordinary experiences become increasingly associated with happiness as people get older, such that they produce as much happiness as extraordinary experiences when individuals have limited time remaining. Self-definition drives these effects: although extraordinary experiences are self-defining throughout one's life span, as people get older they increasingly define themselves by the ordinary experiences that comprise their daily lives."
