The Idea or Concept of a Junk Value

What Are The Signs of a Junk Value

How To Get Rid of Junk Values

Key Takeaways:

According to Johann Hari, the idea of junk value is when we are valuing something that isn't worthy of being valued. It isn't deeply connected to anything that's important.

One of the reasons why people are in chronic stress with their jobs is because they are getting very little reward from it, except financial. As a result, they don't feel good about what they do.

Wellbeing is about connection to meaningful work, purpose, values, nature, and helping others.

We've always been in a storyline telling us that having stuff equates to feeling better about ourselves or to be clear about our status in the world. And this triggers us to work in jobs that we're unhappy with.

Action Steps:

Always see the purpose over material possession

Get rid of the things that will take away your happiness

Invest on things that have real value in your life

Leanne said:

"The world is created, structured and set up entirely to reenforce for you that you need things to be happy".

"Consume less to live more considerately, more mindfully and more sustainably".
