What a thought provoking article. Thank you so much for writing this. I am especially interested in the question “why do people spend their Saturdays ‘enjoying themselves’ without bothering to track which of their habitual leisure activities are actually enjoyable. When I was younger I spent a large amount of my summer vacation and weekends playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare online. The bizarre thing was that I would always stop infuriated. It did not make me happy. In fact, there are few things more infuriating than what you hear while playing an online video game.
I have some hypotheses as to why people continue to do things that they do not enjoy, but I was wondering if you know of any other essays on this cite, your own ideas, or a body of literature that you are familiar with on the issue.
