Kid Cudi might have been on to something deep when he sang: “I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that’s shining is not always going to be gold.”
Our society tells us that we need more. More is better. More is happier.
This message has become engraved in our minds. It is communicated to us through TV shows, movies, songs, relationships, etc.
Stuff will make us happy. If we are unsatisfied or unfulfilled then the answer is that we don’t have enough stuff.
But through it all, our happiness measures have been shooting down the scales at a record breaking speed.
Graham Hill asks TED the following: “Can having less stuff, in less room, lead to more happiness?”
What do you think?
