A recent World Values Survey found that the happiest people live in Nigeria because they have nothing and expect nothing. Their daily life is boosted by small achievements like having enough food on the table.
To have less, to expect less, is infinitely more satisfying than wanting everything. Living simply is the best antidote to stress. Just because the Joneses have a new convertible BMW, doesn’t mean you need one too.
Try buying only what you need when you need it. Find happiness in life and people, not spending. When you’re shopping, before checking out, ask yourself if it’s something you need or want. There’s a difference.
Be self sufficient. Here’s a book to get you started.
