Sustainability Made Simple

Capitalism Keeps Us Shopping and It’s Making Us Miserable


Listen Later

We live in a world that constantly tells us that buying more stuff will make us happy. New clothes, the latest phone, a bigger house, a fancier car, capitalism thrives on making us believe that we need these things to be successful and satisfied. But what if all this consumerism is actually making us miserable?

Well, science backs this hypothesis up. Studies have found that materialism, placing a high value on owning things, is linked to lower life satisfaction, higher anxiety, and increased rates of depression.

In today's episode, we explore why buying more stuff make us feel worse, not better, and what all this has to do with sustainability.

Thanks for listening. Remember, your changes can make a big impact!
