Description
For millions of years, humankind has used a brilliantly successful survival
strategy. If we like something, we chase after more of it: more status,
more food, more info, more stuff. Then we chase again. It's how we survived
famine, disease and disaster to colonise the world. But now, thanks to
technology, we've suddenly got more of everything than we can ever use,
enjoy or afford. That doesn't stop us from striving though and it's making
us sick, tired, overweight, angry and in debt. It burns up our personal
ecologies and the planet's ecology too. We urgently need to develop a sense
of 'enough'. Our culture keeps telling us that we don't yet have all we
need to be happy, but in fact we need to nurture a new skill - the ability
to bask in the bounties all around us. ENOUGH explores how our Neolithic
brain-wiring spurs us to build a world of overabundance that keeps us
hooked on 'more'. John explains how, through adopting the art of
enoughness, we can break from this wrecking cycle. With ten chapters on
topics such as Enough food, Enough stuff, Enough hurry and Enough
information, he explores how we created the problem and gives us practical
ways to make our lives better.
