Core Concept - The article discusses the commercialization of happiness and how it has become a product that can be bought, leading to a cycle of anxiety and dissatisfaction among consumers [2][5][24]. Group 1: Commercialization of Happiness - Happiness has been transformed into a quantifiable and purchasable commodity, leading to the exploitation of people's unhappiness [5][6]. - Consumers are no longer the directors of their lives but are defined by commercial narratives of happiness, which promise fulfillment through consumption [6][7]. - The pursuit of happiness through consumer products results in temporary satisfaction but ultimately leads to deeper feelings of emptiness and anxiety [8][9]. Group 2: Industrialization of Anxiety - The system creates a sense of anxiety by highlighting perceived deficiencies in individuals, prompting them to seek solutions through consumption [10][11]. - Social media and marketing strategies amplify feelings of inadequacy, leading to a cycle of self-doubt and continuous spending on self-improvement [12][13]. - This cycle positions personal unhappiness as an individual issue rather than a systemic one, reinforcing the need for ongoing consumption [13]. Group 3: Industrialization of Joy - Joy has been industrialized, with businesses using algorithms to deliver instant gratification, which can lead to addiction without true happiness [14][15]. - The ease of accessing manufactured joy detracts from the deeper satisfaction that comes from meaningful efforts and experiences [15][16]. Group 4: Commercialization of Effort - The concept of effort has been redefined as a marketable commodity, where self-improvement is continuously marketed as a product [17][18]. - Individuals are encouraged to invest in various self-improvement courses and networks, creating a never-ending cycle of competition and consumption [19][20]. - This commercialization of effort leads to a state of perpetual anxiety, as individuals feel they must constantly strive for more [22][23]. Group 5: Redefining Happiness - True happiness cannot be defined or sold; it requires individuals to reclaim their own definitions of happiness [24][28]. - A personal philosophy of happiness should be established, free from commercial influences, focusing on unique and intrinsic experiences [28][29]. - The most valuable aspects of life are often those that are priceless and cannot be commodified [30].
