Yeah.

There's a rather facinating talk by a psychology professor at Harvard, Dan Gilbert, about what makes people happy... and it's not what they strive for: http://ted.streamguys.net/ted_gilbert_d_2004.mp3 (22 minute audio file)

I'm def. going to give that a try.
The way I did it is in one sitting I wrote down all the wants that occurred to me, which turned out to be around 70% of the total. Then for a week afterwards I carried a small notebook around with me at all times. Whenever the thought "I want ..." came into my head, I whipped out the noteback and wrote it down.
