“People think that experiences are only going to provide temporary happiness,” he told The Wall Street Journal in an interview. “… but they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.”

他在接受《华尔街日报》的采访时说：“人们认为体验只能带来暂时的幸福感，但事实上它们不仅能带来更大的幸福感，还具有更长久的价值。”

Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.

相比大件，入手一些小东西。

No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and it will become just another object. People adapt to having new stuff, and anything that disrupts that adaptation is likely to prolong happiness, says an Atlantic article. Buying small things can give us frequent small pleasures that are different each time they occur, as they forestall adaptation.

《大西洋月刊》的一篇文章则写到：不管你在付钱时所买之物多么昂贵或是与众不同，随着时间的推移它都会失去新意，成为一件普通物品。追求新鲜是人的本性，而任何可以打破习惯之物都能带来更长久的幸福感。买一些小物件则能在上一件物品失去新意之前，不断带给我们新的愉悦感。

Buy what you like.

为心仪之物买单。

No keeping up with the Joneses. “There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something … but if the reason is to maximize happiness, the best thing for that person to do is purchase a life experience that is in line with their personality,” Howell tells Forbes. Howell recently co-authored a study finding that when people spend money just to project a certain image, it doesn’t bring happiness.
