This week, Adam (“Flez”) leads our discussion of Chapters 9-10 from Scarcity Brain by Michael Easter.

Chapter 9: “Stuff” (2:30 - 39:30)

• In regards to “stuff”, what kind of societal norms have you conformed to or products have you purchased to appear better than others or to attempt to fit in? (2:30 - 32:30)
• How much as our unprecedented access to wealth and goods contributed to people’s decreased felt need for religion or faith? (32:31 - 39:30)

Chapter 10: “Information” - (39:31 - 59:00)

• Describe your experience with meditation. (39:31 - 45:09)
• With information to seemingly everything at our fingertips, how do we tap into our innate drive for exploration to help us find meaning in our lives?

Next week we’ll read chapters 11 - Epilogue (pages 238 - 288)
