Growing up poor. You already know this. If you grew up affluent you have to learn this.
If you experience deficits in any number of things, money, stability, love, support as a child...it leaves you hyper vigilant about that as an adult. It creates a level of hardwiring in the brain that isn't always helpful or easy to change. It's a primitive survival mechanism.
@@629990 Spot on! The neuroscience behind this concept is everywhere. Dr. Stephen Porges and Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk talk about vagal nerve tuning, as well as the neurologic state of the traumatized brain. The benefits of survival are spoken of , as well as where the "overdrive" and breakdown are (i.e. when you go over the threshold). So many people know the hard work and movement concept. I think he's really addressing the societal engineering of white collar workers and / or jobs that have caused us to be sedentary to survive. Either way you look at it, scarcity and survival are behind these methods.
Interesting points but I love minimalism. Not extreme minimalism, but only owning what you use and love makes for a simpler life. And other than maybe 5 Dollar Tree bins, no storage containers. There's alot of good science and psychology to support minimalism, which is a modern word for how most people lived before the Industrial Revolution.
Love the discussion about minimalism. It’s something that get on my nerves. I like having nice things around me and changing that every so often.
Nice things are good if you plan to purchase them with available funds and enjoy using them. I sometimes impulse purchase nice things and that’s what led me into debt.
The Covid phase definitely impacted me. Always buying the large sizes of things, value packs and stocking up. With today’s prices I’m realizing I can’t keep it up…my budget is blowing up and it’s unnecessary! None of my fears around stuff were realized in retrospect.
I actually had toilet paper on my list when COVID hit and I had trouble finding it and now I don’t want to ever be down to 1 of anything I need
Great discussion and I enjoyed the book.
Have heard about this book and want to read it so badly! But need to wait until Feb. For my next Audible purchases. That will be my reward for picking up a new project or client for my biz.
As a kid I grew up in the Middle East and traveled all over Africa. You realize quickly how lucky we are in the US….but we have WAY more than we NEED.
Great conversation! I recently read The Comfort Crisis, a fantastic book and look forward to reading Scarcity Brain soon.
LOVED this! I'm going to have to get Mr. Easter's book! I'm so old-fashioned at heart and always think that the industrial revolution ruined everything lol I want to challenge my comfort level in the new year ✨
I'm financially stable.for once in my life! Debt free. Petrified of spending a bloody dime!!!
No need to be petrified. Make a spending plan and stick to it. That can include things you want.
Only buying needs not wants. Doing " Swedish Death Decluttering" which also helps clear out your mind!😊
Don't be. Figure out how to earn more. Money was created to be exchanged quite literally. It's debt that is backed by law, not value; relatively infinite.
Rachel. Loved this segment. Loved your guest. Very informative. Merry Christmas from Canada
Great author! ✍️ 👏
I loved this session. Great topic.
Great content!
I love Michael Easter and have read both of his books! Thanks for having him on!!!!!!! @Rachel, what sauna did you get?
This is so good! Going to have to add those books to my list. P.s. as a compulsive gambler 12 years in recovery I appreciated hearing about the similarities with gambling by slot machine.
He must be in my HOA🤪
My husband and I with 6 children have ever only had one car.
"Scarcity loop"? What he describes is the process of addiction clinically.
The Romans, stoics, et al, many cultures in the past sought discomfort.
Hey Rachel❤
I feel his premises are very based on evolutionary theory not on people created in the image if God.
dang, and i was gonna spend $200 to go to a basketball game just to get the bobblehead 😂
