Tired of shopping for happiness but still feeling empty? This course is your invitation to pause, breathe, and rethink the constant chase. Escaping Consumerism explores the tangled web of modern material culture—why we buy things we don’t need, what drives the urge to always want more, and how it quietly shapes our daily decisions. With insightful guidance, this course challenges the subtle pressures of consumer-driven habits and offers fresh, thought-provoking perspectives on living with intention. This isn't about throwing your phone out the window or knitting your own socks (unless that’s your thing). It’s about developing awareness and clarity in a noisy, fast-spending world. Through carefully crafted lessons, you'll gain a sharper lens on advertising, status signals, and the psychology of consumption—all from the comfort of wherever you choose to learn. Whether you're tired of the clutter or simply curious about alternatives to the buy-more culture, this course offers a clear and insightful path away from the chaos.
