Great Article and even better Topic!
You know what fascinates me.

You were talking about the fact, that we all fall back to our Emotional Set Point - sooner or later.
Which seems to be true - at least on one site.
I always hear successful people Talking about the fact that, Money can´t buy happiness. So on the "Positive Site", People seem to fall back into their Set Point.

But somehow it seems that People on the "Negative Site", are at risk to never make their way back to their Set Point.
Depression seems to work like a Trap - a Trap that kills.

In Conclusion:

• You hear Happy People, alway´s getting used to their Source of Happiness and fall back into their Set Point.
• Meanwhile, Negative People, seem to never get used to there Depression and to loose themselves in a "Downward Spiral".

Of course, I´m generalizing here.
But could it be that not just awareness, but much rather the direction of your Spiral is Up- or Downleveling your Set Point?
