True Happiness

The fundamental reason of overconsumption is the common belief that comfort and pleasures bring happiness. The natural disasters caused by global warming could find a solution only if we “redefine” happiness. In contrast with comfort, discomfort is seen as a way of life that could bring happiness away from material life. In this topic, research psychologist Brock Bastian argues that a willingness to experience discomfort is crucial to our pursuit of genuine happiness, and that our efforts to escape unpleasantness or seek out only the positive in fact weaken us in managing life’s inevitable difficulties. From this, the discomfort caused by global warming could be a good opportunity to be more creative in finding a deeper happiness
