    Problem phase

    Solution phase
    3. Response
    4. Reward
    In this section, I have compiled some lessons (and a few bits of common
    sense) that are confirmed by the model. The purpose of these examples is to
    clarify just how useful and wide-ranging this framework is when describing
    human behavior. Once you understand the model, you’ll see examples of it
    everywhere.
    Awareness comes before desire. A craving is created when you assign
    meaning to a cue. Your brain constructs an emotion or feeling to describe
    your current situation, and that means a craving can only occur after you
    have noticed an opportunity.
    Happiness is simply the absence of desire. When you observe a cue,
    but do not desire to change your state, you are content with the current
    situation. Happiness is not about the achievement of pleasure (which is joy
    or satisfaction), but about the lack of desire. It arrives when you have no
    urge to feel differently. Happiness is the state you enter when you no longer
    want to change your state.
    However, happiness is fleeting because a new desire always comes along.
    As Caed Budris says, “Happiness is the space between one desire being

    fulfilled and a new desire forming.” Likewise, suffering is the space
    between craving a change in state and getting it.
    It is the idea of pleasure that we chase. We seek the image of pleasure
    that we generate in our minds. At the time of action, we do not know what
    it will be like to attain that image (or even if it will satisfy us). The feeling
    of satisfaction only comes afterward. This is what the Austrian neurologist
    Victor Frankl meant when he said that happiness cannot be pursued, it must
    ensue. Desire is pursued. Pleasure ensues from action.
