The Horizon Trap: The Psychology of Deferred Happiness

Why does happiness always feel like it's waiting for you just over the horizon? You know the feeling: "I'll be happy when I get the promotion... when I buy the house... when I find the right person." But then you get there—and the finish line moves again. This isn't just vague anxiety. It's a well-documented psychological pattern called The Horizon Trap. In this video, we break down: → What the Horizon Trap actually is (and the research behind it) → Delayed Life Syndrome, Deferred Happiness Syndrome & the Arrival Fallacy → The cognitive biases that keep us stuck: affective forecasting, impact bias, focusing illusion → The Hedonic Treadmill and why lottery winners aren't happier → How social media and achievement culture amplify the trap → A 3-step process to escape the trap and find happiness NOW The science is clear: the joy isn't in crossing the finish line—it's in the running of the race. This is the first video in our Educational Segments series, exploring the science behind what it actually takes to flourish. --- 📚 KEY CONCEPTS MENTIONED: Delayed Life Syndrome (Vladimir Sirkin) Deferred Happiness Syndrome (Clive Hamilton) Arrival Fallacy (Tal Ben-Shahar, Harvard) Affective Forecasting & Impact Bias Focusing Illusion (Daniel Kahneman) Hedonic Treadmill / Hedonic Adaptation --- 🌟 YOUR FLOURISHING PARTNER: Your Baryon helps you notice these patterns in your own life—and do something about them.
