The hedonic treadmill was first described in a 1971 essay entitled Hedonic Relativism and Planning the Good Society.

The authors described a tendency for people to keep a stable baseline level of happiness despite positive or negative external events.

The hedonic treadmill, therefore, is a theory positing that people repeatedly return to a baseline level of happiness, irrespective of what happens to them.
