Welcome to the Saturday post. This is where I summarize podcasts that inspired me throughout the week and give a quick recap of what was covered on both blogs. Enjoy!
PodList
This week, four podcasts caught my attention and made the list. Three of them are a little longer, but worth the listen if you have the time.
5 Things That Happen When You Stop Buying S*** You Don’t Need. 12 minutes. Optimal Finance Daily. This is a great financial post and has equal application to leading a more sustainable life.
Can Radical Decluttering Significantly Boost Your Happiness? 41 minutes. Ten Percent Happier. This is a great interview with The Minimalists (Josh & Ryan) who have just released a Netflix documentary. The interview was a good one and led me to watch the documentary as well.
The Laws of Less. 1 hour 18 minutes. Deep Questions. In this episode, Cal Newport talks about doing fewer things better. A commitment to doing less.
Using Sufficiency to Shift Mindset and Finding Creative Solutions to Tackle Climate Change. 29 minutes. Carbon Sessions. The episode dives into a conversation about sufficiency and how this mindset could shift the way companies think about change.
