What quick fix approaches to happiness should I avoid?

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...

Quick fixes to avoid would be buying anything. I actually have an interesting fact about that. There's a study I read that said that actually the only people that are less happy than the very poor are the very rich. So materialism is inversely proportional to a sense of self security and self esteem. So, buying something: bad idea. Eating something: bad idea. Trying to take something from the outside and stuff it into you, or use it to make you feel differently is not going to work for very long. Even if it works for a moment, it usually has such a potential downside that you wind up having to work harder to then come out of whatever it is that you just did to try to fix it. So you have to solve the problem you just created by trying to get a quick fix.
