#020 Consumerism: More Joy, Less Craving How to Live

    • Business

Many of us enjoy the good things in life - a cool car, the latest bag, or an exotic holiday but sometimes without realising the joy of consumerism gives way to stressful pursuit of more and more. We need to have the latest iphone before others or wear designer clothes to be seen. The more we have, the more unsatisfied we become, and the more we want. It becomes a vicious cycle. 
Giving up materialism altogether - renunciation - isn’t appealing to many of us. So how do we enjoy the good things in life without getting consumed by them?
In this podcast we look at why pleasure from materialism turns into a state of constant dissatisfaction. We talk about this both from a spiritual and neuroscience lens. Then we outline approaches from both schools- spirituality and neuroscience- on how to find joy in material goods, without the vicious cycle of cravings.
