In a study by Daniel Gilbert and Timothy Wilson, they determined that human beings have poor affective forecasting - meaning we think something will make us happy but in reality it only provides a brief buzz and we are onto the next big thing. We say "If only I had _____ then maybe I could...". As a result, we ignore our deeper yearnings, focus on surface wants, and are never really satisfied. They called this mis-wanting. Transform! is designed to fix our broken wanters.
Happiness is not a destination, it is a moment to moment decision. It is our creation. We do not have to wait for that a new job, new house, better relationship, etc. We do, however, have to be conscious of what we are feeling and what our deeper yearnings are in the moment. It is a social and emotional intelligence skill that we can build and strengthen - using the Transform! app of course. When we know what makes us happy, we can directly engage in getting our yearnings met and getting more satisfaction in our lives.
