Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert

or on TED,
TED.com

"psychological immune system"
A system of unconscious processes that help people change their view of the world, so that people can feel better about the world in which they find themselves.

I am more interested in this part of his point, about happiness and choice.
Ability of changing your mind is the friend of natural happiness,
but freedom to choice is the enemy of synthetic happiness.
