“Does #money buy #happiness?
The deeper insight in #Killingsworth's original research, the one almost nobody talks about, is the part that should sit with you longer than the income numbers. The #TrackYourHappiness app had been telling him for years that the single biggest predictor of in-the-moment well-being is not money at all. It is whether your #mind is on the thing you are doing.
His most cited paper, written with Daniel Gilbert at Harvard, is titled A #WanderingMind Is an Unhappy Mind. The data from the app showed that people are mentally absent from what they are doing 47 percent of the time, and that #mentalabsence is one of the strongest predictors of #unhappiness in the entire dataset. More predictive than income. More predictive than the activity itself. More predictive than almost any demographic variable you could measure.”

My mind wanders ☁️ 🧠 ☁️
It's so hard to focus, especially in these late Summer days. I find myself doodling and daydreaming a lot. Am I the only one?
