The Hedonic Treadmill | Sophia Guan | TEDxGleneagleSecondary

Do you ever feel like you'll never be happy? In this talk, Sophia discusses the concept of the hedonic treadmill, an idea that suggests we are protected from being comfortable in a harmful environment. Join us on a journey through misconceptions about what happiness really means!
