- Thanks. I mean, I could have done better, but yeah,

the pandemic really has upped my sales, I guess.

Now, everyone, we have a new sales team member.

- Oh, well, I offer my clients a sense of stagnation

and emptiness so that they can experience

- No. Honestly, I don't offer that sense of hopelessness.

- So after a year of that, the acute sense of

anguish and despair kind of subsides into me-

the neglected middle child of mental health.

I offer the sort of dulling of motivation,

and I triple the odds that you'll cut back on work.

but, I actually will end up sending my clients

I really offer my clients the dulling of delight,

It may be the dominant emotion for all of us right now.

My friend sent me this New York Times article written

by Adam Grant, a professor of management and psychology

at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

The term "languishing" was coined by sociologist Corey Keyes

who was struck that many people who weren't depressed

His research suggests that people most likely to

experience major depression and anxiety disorders

in the next decade aren't the ones with those symptoms

today. They're the ones who are languishing right now.

And we know if we don't fix it, then in 10 years

you're really absorbed in a task or a challenge.

According to Grant, during the early days of the pandemic,

People who became more immersed in their projects

and maintained their pre-pandemic happiness.
