Why Vacation Can't Make You Happier

When we pursue happiness, we often start by changing our surroundings. We expect to find bliss in a warmer climate or a friendlier dorm but any joy that those choices bring about is typically temporary. Remember, you're still gonna be you on vacation. If you are sad where you are and then you get on a plane to Italy, the you in Italy will be the same sad you from before, just in a new place.
