The hedonic treadmill theory explains the often-held observation that rich people are no happier than poor people, and that those with severe money problems are sometimes quite happy. The theory supports the argument that money does not buy happiness and that the pursuit of money as a way to reach this goal is futile. (Investopedia)

Adaptació hedònica
Definition from
nfplitigation.com:
L’adaptació hedònica, també coneguda com “la cinta rodant hedonica”, és un concepte estudiat per investigadors de psicologia positiva i d’altres que se centren en la felicitat i el benestar que fa referència a la tendència general de les persones a tornar a un nivell de felicitat establert malgrat els daltabaixos i la vida.
Example sentences:
Els psicòlegs cognitius anomenen aquest efecte adaptació hedònica, un mecanisme psicològic mitjançant el qual, una vegada assolit un desig, una altra necessitat ocupa el seu lloc. (Revista dels estudis de ciència...)
De la mateixa manera, si seguim fent les mateixes coses i mai ens desafiem a nosaltres mateixos, l’adaptació hedònica entrarà en funcionament i ens veurem atrapats en una rutina. (hipnosi clínica)
