    Study shows experiences are better than possessions →

    The satisfaction we get from buying vacations, bikes for exercise and other experiences starts high and keeps growing. The initial high we feel from acquiring a flashy car or megascreen TV, on the other hand, trails off rather quickly, reports a new Cornell study.

    Also from the article.

    “What does it all mean? “Our results suggest that if people get more enduring happiness from their experiences than their possessions, at a policy level, we might want to make available the resources that enable people to have experiences. You can’t go hiking if there are no trails. And if those are the kinds of things that give people more enduring enjoyment, we need to make sure we’re creating the kinds of communities that have parks, trails and so on that promote experiences that produce real enjoyment.”
