Happiness can be found in simplicity from "summary" of Deep Economy by Bill McKibben

In our modern society, we have been conditioned to believe that more is always better. We are constantly bombarded with messages telling us that we need to acquire more things in order to be happy. We are convinced that material possessions and wealth are the keys to a fulfilling life. However, this obsession with consumption has led to a myriad of problems, both personal and societal. As I explore in "Deep Economy," the pursuit of endless growth and consumption has not brought us the happiness and fulfillment we were promised. Instead, it has left us feeling empty and disconnected from what truly matters. We have become slaves to our possessions, constantly striving for more in a never-ending cycle of dissatisfaction. The more we have, the more we want, and the less satisfied we become. It is only when we embrace simplicity that we can truly find happiness. By simplifying our lives and focusing on what truly matters, we can break free from the cycle of consumption and find contentment in the present moment. When we strip away the excess and clutter from our lives, we are able to see more clearly what brings us joy and fulfillment. Simplicity allows us to appreciate the beauty of the world around us and to savor the moments that truly matter. It encourages us to slow down, to be present, and to cultivate meaningful connections with others. When we let go of our obsession with material possessions, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities and experiences that can bring us true happiness. In a world that is constantly pushing us to do more, have more, and be more, embracing simplicity is a radical act of rebellion. It is a rejection of the status quo and a commitment to living a life that is aligned with our values and beliefs. When we choose simplicity, we choose a path that leads to true happiness and fulfillment.
