• Episode 63: Lee Van Ham – Convergence of OneEarth Living and Voluntary Simplicity. We co-produced this episode with Jubilee OneEarth Economics. A slightly different version was released on TheCommonGoodPodcast.com (TCGP). The impetus for this podcast came when TCGP cohost Lee Van Ham was one of the presenters at “Seeking Simplicity: A Workshop for the Soul and the Planet,” hosted at St. Paul’s Cathedral in January, 2016. The search for simplicity, not austerity, can get us closer to using only the capacities of our one planet instead of several. Yet, just what simplicity is varies widely; what size fits you? And does your size fit the planet? WE UNPACK SIX IDEAS IN THIS CONVERSATION. Get some background about co-housing by listening to my TCGP Episode 56 :: Carol Watkins: Shared Housing – a Step Toward OneEarth Living. Read Lee Van Ham’s fascinating blog “2 Households in 1 House: Can Shared Housing Help You?” Harry Watkins has several entries to his Shared Housing blog.

• Episode 62:  Tim Kasser, Professor of Psychology; author of The High Price of Materialism“My primary interest concerns people’s values and goals, and how they relate to quality of life. Over the last decade I have been especially focused on studying ‘materialistic values,’ i.e., being wealthy, having many possessions, being attractive, and being popular.”My colleagues and I have found that when people believe materialistic values are important, they report less happiness and more distress, have poorer interpersonal relationships, contribute less to the community, and engage in more ecologically damaging behaviors. My research has recently been investigating how values relate to well-being in various nations around the world, as well as what leads some people to become especially focused on different types of values.”Kasser not only defines the problem but proposes ways we can change ourselves, our families, and society to become less materialistic.VIDEO: The High Price of Materialism. In this short animation, psychologist Tim Kasser discusses how America’s culture of consumerism undermines our well-being. More The High Price of Materialism – New Dream (Center for a New American Dream). Also MENTIONED – Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood
