137. The Summer Books Series: What Do We Need and What is Enough

Overview

Over the months of June and July, I’ve been sharing books that have delighted me. Some of them have been written by past guests, while others are new books that have inspired me to think more deeply about sustainability. 

My hope in sharing these books with you is that you will be inspired, as I was, and will want to think differently about how you operate this summer. Through this summer book series, perhaps you’ll start asking important questions, like, “What do I really want? What is enough? What is worth it? Where might I be settling? Where and when can I allow myself to choose sustainability?” 

Today’s episode is the last in the series and this is for the explorers and the questioners, and those who are looking for a break.

Listen to the full episode to hear:

  • Discussion of the themes and insights from the two-book series "Monk and Robot" by Becky Chambers

  • Reflection on philosophical questions raised by the books

  • Exploration of the themes of wanting more and the concept of sufficiency
