Correct. People desire more than just subjective well-being.
Let me switch to pleasure briefly. One leading theory is that pleasure is largely the result of a positive difference between expected desire satisfaction and perceived desire satisfaction. That is, if your desire seems to have been satisfied somewhat more than expected, the reward system in the brain tells the pleasure system to fire off some pleasure signals. But we are uncertain of this right now.
But it’s not the only thing people desire or work for, yes? Is something along the lines of ‘satisfaction’ included in happiness?
