Would you like to supersize that?

Alright so a few weeks back I burst a bubble about time. I told you that I had it on pretty good authority that more time is not going to solve your problems. If you missed it, you can read it here.

If you've been curious about a new way to think about productivity and time... you may have started to bump into other, related beliefs.

For instance: Growth. We are a society obsessed with growth.

• "If you aren't growing, you're dying."

• "More is better."

• "Better, faster, stronger."

• "Year over year growth targets."

• "Would you like to supersize that?"

A client of mine recently came to her session feeling dazed - she'd been obsessing about her "better, faster, stronger" targets and forgot the point of it all. You know, important things like: Why did they hire me? Who are we helping? What do I like about this work?

If you are like her, you may have a nagging question in the back of your mind, like: "hmm, something is not quite right about all the 'go big or go home' stuff...but I can't even imagine a world designed any other way?"

Enter this very interesting perspective from renegade economist Kate Raworth.

She proposes a new way to think about growing sustainably called...Doghnut Economics.

She also shares some inspiring and eye opening information about the origins of burnout and "retail therapy."

Check it out!
