Chapter 9: Money vs Experiences
Page 132
1. "Breaking the Spell of Money" by Scott Russell Sanders
Page 135
2. Elizabeth W. Dunn and her colleagues explained that income is not a strong predictor of happiness once our basic needs are met.
3. Humans adapt very rapidly to new things in their lives, so the happiness from "newness" wears off quickly.
4. Spending money on experiences-concert tickets, taking a yoga class, or going on vacation-typically produces more, and longer lasting, satisfaction than buying stuff because we're impacting our well being, and joyful memories continue to feed us.
