Why Occupy the Moment?
The Occupy Wall Street movement has struck a chord with a large number of Americans who are dissatisfied with the growing inequality in wealth and opportunity in the United States. The current economic crisis is the outcome of 30 years of greed ushered in by the Reagan Revolution. So what should we do?
Occupy the Moment
lays out a path to a new economy that is neither classically capitalist or socialist. Instead, it builds upon the environmental economics popularized in the 1970s by books like E.F. Schumacher's, Small is Beautiful and updates it to include the latest scientific research on consumer behavior.Occupy the Moment also includes a series of fun exercises in mindfulness, a way of "being in the moment" that shows how to slow down, enjoy simple pleasures, and avoid materialism. By being more mindful, the 99% can change our culture from one that promotes greed to one that honors compassion.
