We live in a world of overconsumption. We are buying nonstop. Further, we consume mindlessly. This combination can lead to many financial hardships, eventually. In addition, it can add up to a lot of debt and lead to high interest rates. This can become a never-ending cycle.

This cycle is exacerbated because we live in a technologically driven world which is constantly urging us to buy new and shiny stuff. Through the various beeps and clicks that we constantly receive on our technological devices every moment of the day, we are encouraged to keep purchasing by advertisers who want our money. But do we really need all this stuff? Is there a way out of this cycle of overconsumption?

I believe we can move past this cycle of overconsumption by developing a conscious mindset and lifestyle. This doesn't mean that we must live like a monk and abstain from all pleasures. However, it may mean we need to shift our focus away from developing merely utilitarian values to more intrinsic ways of living and being. We can achieve this step-by-step by practicing the tips of mindful consumption in this e-book.
