Many People Are So Poor Because The Only Thing They Have Is Money

#Money is not the enemy. In the end, it is just a THING. A means to an end. One can be really rich, and yet still feel unhappy and dissatisfied on the inside - why is that?


Research has shown that some of the world's most satisfied societies are poor, small, and remote. The results found that these people's #lifesatisfaction is on par with people who live in the wealthiest countries.


So what explains this leap to a higher level of #happiness?


Western anthropologists who’ve visited small-scale communities have generally found that these people derive a great deal of #satisfaction from simple activities such as listening to music, going for a walk, or just relaxing. Relationships with friends and family as well as #socializing also bring lots of #joy. Community members also tend to greatly value spending time in nature. Copious studies show that being outside in pristine, natural habitats boosts mood, health, and overall #wellbeing.


An obvious potential reason why simple joys such as social interaction and experiencing nature play an outsized role in driving life satisfaction in small-scale communities is that many of these societies aren’t heavily #monetized.


The central takeaway, is that life satisfaction does not require the elevated rates of material consumption generally associated with high monetary #income.


Once peoples’ basic needs — like housing, food, and safety — are met, joy can be found in the people and places around us🙏


I feel, I am filthy rich and my heart is FULL because I am surrounded by people who truly love me, also because of the #friendships I have, and for the beautiful #nature that I have around my home.


What about you? What makes you feel "rich" and happy?
