Reading group starting in June: Modernising Money





The Leicester's Positive Money group is starting a reading group. Our first session will be the 6th of June 2014 at the Green Oasis from 6pm. We will start with reading the first 100 pages of 'Modernising Money' by Andrew Jackson & Ben Dyson. We are at the moment seven individuals eager to understand better economics and to discuss some of the arguments introduced in the book.

If you are interested in joining the reading group, email me directly on moneyleicester@gmail.com.

If you don't have a book, I have 3 books left for sale sent by Positive Money to support the Leicester group (£10). Don't hesitate!

Progress Trap

A  progress trap  is the condition human societies experience when, in pursuing  progress  through human ingenuity, they inadvertently introduce problems they do not have the resources or political will to solve, for fear of short-term losses in status, stability or quality of life. ( Wikipedia ) How willing are we to make the necessary changes for our future survival? Looking after ourselves, our health, others, their wellbeing, the planet, its sustainability. Yet, it is so easy to escalate commitment in telling ourselves and others stories which will enhance our status, stability and quality of life. The chase is on against time and oddities. We escape from the unsettling truth that the long term is doomed. Until we burn out - Exhausted from rat race, the running, the short-term goals. Breathe, Slow Down,  Have a nice weekend. And get back in the trap next week.

Responsibilities are Detachable so Start Cutting them off

Take a pen and paper.  Breathe and Ask yourself. What are all the responsibilities am I holding at the moment? Write it all down. Pause Order them into categories Breathe Ask yourself, Do I have too many stuff Too many possessionss too many projects too many commitments... Time to detach yourself from most of them Some you may not be able too. Other may appear unimportant and non urgent. Some may take time to get rid of but yet appear as priorities. Tag them and Simplify.  You will be better for it and a model for your peers to follow.
