Literally made me happier that. Thanks for committing it to paper. Eckart Tolle’s the power of now has a wonderful opening chapter collapsing consumerism. Studying the emptiness of wanting something and getting it and then still have the chasm in your heart, you thought buying it, might fill. Mindfulness was hard wired into society and existence before about 2008. Stillness. A chance to get bored. The productivity treadmill as you put it has killed all that. Despite all the challenges in third world countries and next to no real leisure time mental health scores are higher than first world countries with the most leisure time in their histories. Weird but true.
