Leaner hunter-gatherers

Modern people hunt and gather at the cost of well-being

Modern hunter-gatherers: We see us humans as modern, urban hunter-gatherers. Instead of beasts and berries, we hunt for belongings, careers, relationships, experiences and attention.

Scarcity mindset: Our Stone Age brains operate better in scarcity (find a mushroom) than in abundance (choose from endless options). Because of scarcity mindset, we often seek to solve our dissatisfaction with further hunting and gathering, especially by consuming.

Excess: The pursuit of abundance eats up resources, space, time and money more than one might think. In reality, excess gives less than it promises. Consuming may feel like self-expression, but it is that to a limited point.
