Sustainable Gifts for Everyone On Your List

As consumers, it's our responsibility to support brands that make ethical and sustainable practices the centerpieces of their missions. Still, it can be difficult to find eco friendly gifts for our loved ones in advance of the holidays. On this episode of The Sustainable Minimalists podcast: The 2020 Green Gift Guide, which highlights more than a dozen of the best ethical and eco-friendly gift ideas on the market. Happy holidays!


Sustainable gifts for everyone on your list

They’re nearly here: The holidays. As consumers, we have a collective responsibility to support companies that have ethical and eco-friendly practices at the center of their missions. Still, greenwashing runs rampant, and it can be difficult (if not downright impossible!) to discern sustainable gifts from no-so-sustainable ones as we give to loved ones.

::Enter the 2020 Green Gift Guide!::

My hope is that this year’s Green Guide provides you with the motivation to support companies committed to doing things right. I also hope the Guide gives you some gift ideas to put on your own holiday list so that you receive fewer trinkets and more items you will love on for the long haul.

Happy listening!

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
