Killingsworth's research reveals that happiness increases with income, but each income increase requires exponentially more money to achieve the same level of happiness as before.
According to Killingsworth, the happiness boost from income follows an exponential model, where doubling one’s income at higher levels yields the same happiness increase as lower levels.
Killingsworth suggests people at higher income levels experience a relentless pursuit for more wealth because the happiness gain per dollar diminishes, illustrating the widening inequality.
Killingsworth asserts that his findings challenge the idea of a magic salary number for happiness, indicating that continual pursuit of wealth compacts happiness gains.
