Docu about environmental health: Minimalism (Netflix)

Freddie

We all want to be happy, right?

This documentary - Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things (Netflix) - explains why we cannot keep on living the way we are living right now and why it is not making us happy, even though a big part of the world's population has 'everything it needs'. Lovely people, we need to shift our focus. We need to remember what actually makes us happy and what does good to ourselves and the world.

For the seekers of happiness...

Quotes from Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things (Netflix)

''This hunger never gets fulfilled.''

''I think it goes to the bottom line fact that you can never get enough of what you don't really want.

In other words, deep down, we don't want any more goodies, more toys, more cars.

We want what they'll bring us.

We want to feel whole.

We want to feel content.''

''This mindless consumption, this same thing that's not making us happy, is also causing the degradation of our habitat.''

''This is real and we really have to do something about it.''

''We are not going to ever be able to achieve the environmental gains that we're seeking while still expecting our lives to be the same.''

''We're going to give up a lot.''

''The secret of that is that we're actually not going to miss that much.''
