In a time where we have more luxuries than ever before, with food delivered by the touch of a button, millions of products available for overnight delivery, and vending machines where you can buy a car, we have access to more now than ever before. On paper, we should be thriving, yet our happiness seems to be at an all-time low. This week, Aaron is joined by his wife, Mariah, a creative marketer, who breaks down some of the tactics used by companies to get consumers to buy more. We discuss why physical things often leave us unfulfilled, and some practical takeaways on how to have a healthy relationship with our stuff, while living in a consumeristic society.Subscribe to the Health Hackd NewsletterRate the show on Apple PodcastFollow along on InstagramTry the cleanest, most effective electrolyte drink on the market: Drink LMNTResourcesMariah Krafft - InstagramMariah Krafft - WebsitePodcast Episode - Stop Dieting Over the HolidaysAverage U.S. Consumer DebtHedonic Treadmill Graph30 Day Minimalist ChallengeBook - The Year of LessDisclaimerThis podcast is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
