PSY435H1 Lecture 7: Lecture 7.docx
Document Summary
We burn up tones of our time, not just making money, but also through attaching our happiness to status, our looks, product consumption and display. Maybe this isn"t the only, or best path. We chase after that by trying to fit into cultural framework, trying to look a certain way, trying to meet others expectations. We have a fairly small number of true values; if we focus on these, our life would be much simpler: would be more streamlined; less things dragging on your system. Just glide through most of reality, pouring your energy into a smaller number of things that you find valuable which can be very hard to do. Connects to the envt: if everyone was to do this, our countries consumption would generally decrease, but there are not too many people like this. Idea of expanding outwards; realizing what you are looking at can be broken down to smaller and bigger processes.
