Clever companies have convinced us that consumption will cause or create contentment.
But it’s a great lie. Contentment, fulfillment, joy… none of these can be purchased.
No product, however well designed will fill a void, but connection can.
Connection is something we’re losing in our digital age. As social creatures, connection is essential to our happiness.
And the great beauty of connection is it’s free! It costs absolutely nothing to make connections with friends, coworkers and even the strangers we pass at the store.
Connection won’t solve all our problems, but consumption solves absolutely none.
