Stephanie Coontz: Human beings live their lives moving from one state of discontent to the next. She says most people believe that once they get enough things that we want, then im going to be satisfied. But what actually happens is you get the dream car, and yea, you ride around in it smiling and waving at people for a couple of weeks.
