Stumbling on Happiness - Part 2 (Audiobook)

Explore the ways in which our brains imagine the future and how these imaginings can impact our happiness. Gilbert argues that our brains are not designed to accurately predict our future emotions, which can lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction when our expectations don't match reality. He offers fascinating insights into the mechanisms of the brain, including the role of memory and the influence of emotions, that contribute to our imperfect ability to predict our future emotions. Throughout the chapter, Gilbert uses relatable examples to illustrate his points, such as the disappointment we feel when a long-awaited vacation doesn't live up to our expectations. He also offers practical advice for how we can adjust our expectations and imaginations in order to lead more fulfilling lives.
