This weekend while eating out, I was appreciating the process it went into having the meal I was having.  Thankfully we trust each other enough so that we can go to a random place, choose what we want to eat, and they bring it, we eat it and we have nothing else to do (except exchange some paper).  But money aside, think about how amazing this is.  Become a supporter of this podcast:https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/supportExperience more abundance on georgianbenta.com/abundanceAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The media and our culture has created this cycle that makes us consume more...   The more insecure we feel, the more things we want in an attempt to feel less insecure, but afterwards we see that the feeling is still there and "more stuff" is the answer in the commercials, isn’t it?    Julie Santiago, my guest for episode 88 shares her perspective on this, with which I agree with 100%.    She shares also a beautiful way of escaping this vicious cycle.  Become a supporter of this podcast:https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/supportExperience more abundance on georgianbenta.com/abundanceAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

When I was a child, I wanted to live in Medieval Times, it seemed so adventurous and magical looking at it from the comfort of my modern life.  The truth is that it wasn't that great to actually live in those times, and in this episode I compare our life as a society, with theirs, so that we can appreciate how amazing it is to be alive right now.    Books referenced: Enlightenment Now: https://www.amazon.com/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress/dp/0525427570 Age Of Discovery: https://www.amazon.com/Age-Discovery-Navigating-Rewards-Renaissance/dp/1250085098 Listen to them: www.georgianbenta.com/audible    Other reasearch resources: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160928-why-the-present-day-could-be-the-best-time-to-be-alive https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/10/opinion/steven-pinker-enlightenment-now.html https://ourworldindata.org/war-and-peace  Become a supporter of this podcast:https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/supportExperience more abundance on georgianbenta.com/abundanceAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
