You've planned a good moment, maybe a birthday, a holiday morning, or a trip you saved up for, and when it arrives, something feels off. A quiet question shows up: is this as good as it should be? That doesn't mean you're ungrateful.

Today's episode looks at the happiness paradox: why wanting to be happy is usually fine, while judging whether you're happy enough can get in the way of the moments you hoped to enjoy. The research offers a way to understand that letdown without blaming yourself for it.
