What are some common myths about happiness?

Lynn Ianni (Psychotherapist) gives expert video advice on: Why are some people chronically unhappy?; Why do we often repeat patterns that make us unhappy?; Is it possible to be happy during hard times? and more...

I think the most common myth is that material possessions create happiness. I think people believe that people who have more things are happier, when in fact it's the opposite of the truth. Especially if those things are something that they continue to believe that they need in order to feel happy. The acquisition of them is a finish line that just keeps moving. So they don't actually have a way to reach that goal and therefore they never feel satisfied. They just feel constantly in need of the next thing.
