Total misrepresentation.
Kahneman says that at $60K a year your direct experience of happiness flatlines. But our perception of how happy we are increases with the amount of money we make, far beyond the $60K.
There's two types of happiness, how happy we are and how happy we think we are and the two correlate only at a .5.
The flatlining question is "How happy are you right now?" The question that increases with wealth is "How happy are you?"
Which is a fairer representation of how people understand happiness?
