We are conditioned to believe in the myth of more is better from "summary" of Your Money Or Your Life by Joseph R. Dominguez,Vicki Robin
Our culture bombards us with messages that more is better. We are constantly surrounded by advertisements urging us to buy the latest gadgets, upgrade our possessions, and strive for bigger and better things. We are conditioned to equate success and happiness with material wealth and possessions. This constant pressure to consume and acquire more can lead to a never-ending cycle of dissatisfaction and longing for more. The myth of more is better is deeply ingrained in our society, influencing our behaviors and decisions without us even realizing it. We are led to believe that having more stuff will make us happier, more successful, and more fulfilled. This belief is perpetuated by societal norms and expectations, as well as by the media and advertising industries that profit from our desire for more. This constant pursuit of more can have detrimental effects on our well-being and our finances. It can lead to excessive spending, debt, and clutter in our lives. It can also distract us from what truly matters and prevent us from living a more intentional and fulfilling life. By questioning the myth of more is better and reevaluating our priorities, we can break free from this cycle of consumption and find greater satisfaction and contentment in our lives. It is important to recognize that true happiness and fulfillment do not come from the accumulation of material possessions. Instead, they come from meaningful experiences, relationships, and a sense of purpose. By shifting our focus away from acquiring more stuff and towards living more mindfully and intentionally, we can cultivate a greater sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in our lives. By challenging the myth of more is better, we can create a more sustainable and fulfilling way of living.
