Change the Way You Think About Money

Banerjee wants us to get back to the mindset that debt is undesirable and urges us to make small changes in our perspectives.

The battle between your present and future self

In this talk, Daniel Goldstein discusses how the decisions made in the present affect the future and provides tool to help envision our future selves. He explains how in the present we do not want to save, but how we have to stop neglecting the future and make better saving decisions.

He says everyone wants their kids to be a doctor or a lawyer, but not enough see the benefit in them being entrepreneurs. Herold also discusses the types of money habit to discuss with our children.

Why we’re unhappy – the expectation gap

Economist and entrepreneur Nat Ware talks about the gap between expectations and reality and how in many cases it can lead to unhappiness. He discusses how the answer isn’t to lower expectations, but to change how we make decisions.  

Less stuff, more happiness

Writer and designer Graham Hill in this talk begs the question: Can less stuff, in less room, make us happier? He discusses editing your life and why he thinks the answer to that question is yes. He urges us to think more about what we buy, its utility and how long it will last us.

Sell your crap. Pay your debt. Do what you love.

In this talk, Adam Baker uses his own story to discuss his idea of freedom: financial freedom, freedom from clutter, freedom to what he wants to do. He wants to share his family’s ups and downs to help and inspire others. Baker is the proof that all the hard work and struggles are worth it in the end.

A rich life with less stuff

Authors Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, also known as The Minimalists, discuss living a rich life. Not a life with a lot of money or a lot of personal property, but rather a life that is rich in experiences and things that can truly make people happy.

The less you own, the more you have

In another minimalism talk, Angela Horn discusses downsizing and how decluttering your life can have a positive influence on the amount of money you can save, the time you have to do the things you love, and the stress that comes with day to day life.
