23. Two Ways to Look for the Good Stuff!

In this episode, Clint Swindall shares some thoughts from positive psychology on why we don't consider "good" stuff as good for very long. It's called "hedonic adaptation" --- the idea that our level of happiness tends to return to where it started after positive AND negative experiences fade away. He shares some good things from his own life, as well as good news from around the world! ---------- This episode is brought to you by Texas Pepper Jelly, the home of some awesome products to enhance your culinary skills.
