So how could this be happening? I think part of the reason, a big part of the reason, is that when our minds wander, we often think about unpleasant things, and they are enormously less happy when they do that, our worries, our anxieties, our regrets, and yet even when people are thinking about something neutral, they're still considerably less happy than when they're not mind-wandering at all.
Zašto se to događa? Mislim da je to djelomično, velikim dijelom, zbog činjenice da, kad naš um luta, često mislimo o neugodnim stvarima, i te su misli mnogo manje sretne kad lutaju, naše brige, tjeskobe, žaljenja... A kad ljudi razmišljaju o nečemu neutralnom, opet su znatno manje sretni nego kad uopće ne sanjare.
