Each day we make dozens of choices, including how to spend our time, money and energy. In the new book, Handbook for an Integrated Life: A Practical Guide to Aligning Your Everyday Choices with Your Internal Compass, author and philanthropy expert Sharon Schneider explores the ways we can integrate our values and desires to do good in the world with the things we are already doing. From buying habits and ways we celebrate, to how we travel and where we live, all aspects of our lives can come into alignment with our values when we take the time to identify them and bring them into focus.
In this conversation we discuss:
- The concept of shared prosperity;
- Seeing the culture norms and currents, that gently lead us away from our values;
- How we can make small shifts and baby steps that create momentum;
- The seven principles for leading an integrated life
- Why buying local makes such a huge difference;
- Using our existing household spending to do more good in the world.
