I Spent $2,000 and Still Felt Empty

Описание: You finally bought that thing you've been wanting for months… but two weeks later, it's just ordinary. The magic is gone. If this sounds familiar, you're not broken—your brain is just doing what evolution designed it to do. Let me show you why chasing more never leads to lasting happiness, and what actually does.
In this video, I reveal the psychological forces that keep us trapped in an endless cycle of wanting more—and the exact strategies I use to break free from it.
🔑 What You'll Learn:
✅ The science of hedonic adaptation and why new purchases lose their appeal so quickly
✅ How choice overload is secretly stealing your joy and draining your mental energy
✅ Why lottery winners return to baseline happiness within months (and what that means for you)
✅ The 3-question framework I use before every purchase to avoid buyer's remorse
✅ How minimalist thinking retrains your brain's reward system for lasting contentment
✅ Real personal stories: the $2,000 iPad sitting in my drawer and the phone upgrade I resisted
✅ Practical strategies to shift from "What can I get?" to "What do I actually need?"

💡 The Bottom Line:
The answer isn't more money, more things, or more upgrades. It's understanding what "enough" actually means for YOU. This isn't about deprivation—it's about freedom.
