If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Happy? UTx Texas Enterprise Speaker Series

In this presentation, McCombs School of Business Assoc. Prof. Raj Raghunathan discusses one of the most common reasons why people are not as happy as they could be: The Fundamental Happiness Paradox. The paradox refers to the finding that, although people think that happiness is one of their most important goals, they often make decisions that sacrifice this goal. Professor Raghunathan's research and findings indicate that there are several inter-related reasons for this paradox, including: 1. People don't have a concrete definition of happiness and, therefore, they do not know exactly what they are pursuing when they say that they are pursuing happiness. 2. People harbor several negative misconceptions about happiness, and this erodes into their motivation to pursue happiness. 3. Finally, people are derailed from their goal of happiness maximization by unconsciously-learned habits, values, beliefs and goals.
