Recommendation

“Are you just, like, so happy all the time?” This is the question a fellow actor put to Josh Radnor when he scored the leading role on the hit TV show How I Met Your Mother. Radnor’s answer – no – is unsurprising to anyone familiar with the concept of the hedonistic treadmill. Rather than leading him to profound new states of ecstasy, the show’s success actually did the opposite. getAbstract recommends Radnor’s insights to those in the public eye, regardless of the size of their sphere of influence. If you consider the megaphone that is social media, that’s nearly everyone.

Take-Aways

  • While many think fame and success will lead to happiness, it often amplifies insecurities and awareness of personal flaws.
  • Celebrities have a choice to be either a good example or a cautionary tale. With the advent of social media, most people have a similar responsibility.
  • Exposing yourself to criticism can be a beneficial practice. The Internet provides ample opportunity to encounter criticism.
