What is the happiness set point?
What will be an ideal response?
Happiness researchers generally share a popular assumption that we each have a happiness set point. The happiness set point concept is based on the well known weight set point idea discussed in the weight loss literature. Think of how a thermostat works on an air conditioner and heater. The thermostat sets the point for the temperature so that when the ambient temperature gets too hot, the air conditioner blows to bring the temperature down to the set point. When it gets too cold, the heater blows to bring the temperature up to the set point.
