🧠 What I Learned Today:
@PeterAttiaMD's Emotional Acceleration Theory: Most of life is experienced through contrast.
When you initially take off in airplane, you feel the speed.
However, when you are flying through the air at 600mph, you no longer notice it.

"Hapiness is only interesting when juxtaposed with sadness. The feeling of crawling on the shore after swimming for 12-14 hours is amazing. But what makes it especially amazing is that six hours earlier you thought you was going to die." - @PeterAttiaMD
Charlie Munger talks about this with the bucket experiment:
Put your right in hot water, and your left hand in cold water for 5mins.
Then move them both to a bucket with lukewarm water.
Your right hand now feels freezing, and your left hand feels on fire. Same bucket tho.

To negate the hedonic treadmill of modern life, you must play with the speed and the incline of it on a daily basis.
