Blog Post: Death by Hedonic Treadmill — Alannah Ferris





I wrote this article inspired by Dr. Benjamin Hardy's Book: The Gap and The Gain. 📖

I strongly resonated with Hardy's idea about the "gap" AKA the feeling that we will never reach our goals because they are always on the horizon, moving away from us. That the closer we get, the farther away they seem.

I wanted to challenge the assumption that ambitious people have to be fueled by discontentment and that their motivation can't come from a more positive place, such as gratitude.
