In an interview [from 35m:19s – 43m:44s], SMU Professor of Psychology Norman Li explained that human emotions are diverse and have evolved over millions of years. Our natural preference for sweet foods has led to an overconsumption of sugary options, harming our health, and the pursuit of constant happiness is unrealistic. He advised that we should focus on activities that bring long-term fulfilment instead.
