'Sufficiency is a whole-of-government approach that aims to create the structural change needed for societies to consume less overall. It also seeks to ensure wellbeing for all people, not just the affluent'.
Less is more
Unlike efficiency, sufficiency calls for reducing demand & tackling overconsumption & living responsibly on Earth
@Lylamehta i like this very much, #Sufficiency! Very elegant, very good to think with (and more appealing than #Degrowth, if I am honest). I will read this, and more!
I also like #FrugalAbundance, coined here on Mastodon a little while back - not the same, but just wanted to bring the two together here.
Actually, #Sufficiency also chimes with #LeanLogic and #LeanEcobomics which @DarkOptimism introduced me too - really must read that, too
And #FrugalHedonism is another wonderful book in the family! 🙂
Btw, #LeanLogic's available free and in full on this lovely website, custom-built by a fan (with the publisher's blessing):

But @pvonhellermannn, if you still plan to join us for #TheDeeperDive, when you enrol you'll get free access to (both audio/text versions of) #SurvivingTheFuture, which I produced as a more accessible gateway to his work, so might help shrink your reading list!
@DarkOptimism @markhburton @Lylamehta
I am very much still planning to do that! 😊
@pvonhellermannn
Hey Pauline, a quick nudge that there are ten places left on the Deeper Dive, and I'd expect them to go in the next week or two.
Let me know if you're facing any obstacles to enrolling that I may be able to help with, since I'd much value your participation! Xx
