So many of us, as men, are operating from a position of scarcity. We’ve wired our brains over decades to constantly crave newer, better, more. Ironically, “more” doesn’t always enhance and enrich our lives. In fact, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the quest for better actually makes us less happy and less fulfilled.
My guest today is Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and his latest book, Scarcity Brain. Today, Michael and I cover why we constantly crave more, the dangers inherent in social media, parameters to consider when looking for abundance in our lives, how to strike the balance between contentment with ambition, and how to finally conquer our scarcity brains.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
Balancing contentment and ambition Recognizing and avoiding overindulgence Ways to make your phone less stimulating Buy gear, not stuff Too much clutter impacts productivity Finding gratification in the process Leaning into a higher purpose Learning from hard times
