Kahneman's work on happiness

Daniel Kahneman's work on happiness explores how people experience and evaluate their well-being. He distinguishes between the “experiencing self,” which lives through moments, and the “remembering self,” which reflects on past events. His research shows that our memories often shape our overall happiness more than current experiences do. Factors like peaks of joy or pain and how events end heavily influence our judgments. Kahneman's findings suggest that understanding these biases can help us make better choices to improve our quality of life and well-being.
