One thought on “024: Wedding Season Done Right”

  1. Dear Stephanie, yes, all wonderful ideas, I am all for everything good and sustainable. I can’t understand why on earth would anybody use plastic plates and plastic cutlery at the wedding? I come from Romania and over here it would be very impolite to do that. We use the finest China and the finest silverware. We don’t mind washing up. Just a few weeks ago we had a graduation meal for my son and we had over fifty guest, that meant 50 X 2 plates – main course and desert – + 50 glases, cutlery, serving plates and bowls. Before I noticed two girls washed up half the plates and later on someone else did the other half. It is really so easy, there is no excuse for using disposables.

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
